Old Saint-Martin Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Splendid gorges of Guiers Vif, to explore if you pass in the area! You can cross them thanks to a very nice little bridge. Nice discovery!

Unfortunately, at the time of my visit there was no guided tour and therefore no entry into the caves... The walk is still worthwhile

The Sarde Road

Highlight • Trail

Superb road and vestige of the Roman road which linked Lyon to Chambéry. Today a hiking trail, this ancient Roman road can be rediscovered on foot in a sumptuous setting!
