Beautifully located and idyllic accommodation. The town of Chanaz on the canal between the Rhône and Lac du Bourget is also very charming.

After leaving Colombier, enjoy the ride to the Rhone and along the Rhone. It is 10° warmer down here and for the second time since I left in mid-March, you can feel something like spring. It is April 2nd.
