A lovely pool of water in Lochieu. A perfect place to cool off if you're planning to cycle up to the Grand Colombier.

Located near Artemare, the Cerveyrieu waterfall is impressive with its wide curtain of water cascading down from a limestone cliff. This site, classified as a "sensitive natural area," is ideal for a break.

Culoz station is served daily by numerous regional trains (TER) from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It marks the arrival point of the Grandes Traversées du Jura (Great Crossings of the Jura).

The four-kilometer-long canal serves as a natural outlet for the waters of Lake Bourget toward the Rhône, and vice versa when the river is in flood. Over the years, it has been widened, rectified, and cleaned to improve the passage of commercial and passenger ships. In the last century, this was an important trade route.
