Leisure base opposite Bas Bugey. A pleasant stop, but strangely located between 2 nuclear power plants...

Beautiful cycle path, mostly shaded, unpaved but rideable (I ride it with 23mm tires), which follows the old line of the Chemin de Fer de l'Est Lyonnais (CFEL)

Found somewhat by chance and at a very affordable price, this hotel restaurant is a superb stopover for a bike ride!
