You cycle right past it, but it's really there: several dinosaur footprints.

Located in the heart of the Petite Montagne, the village of Arinthod reveals beautiful architecture. Its triangular square lined with arcades and decorated with a fountain dates from 1750. The atmosphere is pleasant, especially on Saturday morning, market day.

An active water cave that is locked. Only the cavers have access here.

The entrance to this cave is perhaps one of the grandest. Its 20 meter high overhang is reminiscent of a grand palace.

Montfleur is charming like its name which means Mont-Fleuri.

Hidden in the moss-covered woods, this magical cave is a sight to behold. Although it is no longer permitted to enter the cave, its entrance is spectacular. Inside the cave there are submerged sections that have been explored by divers.
