The Touvière pond is disconnected from the Rhône and other ponds. It is the only one open to fishermen and fisherwomen. It has the particularity of being home to the bouvière, a small fish of half a dozen centimeters, which grazes on aquatic plants.

The trail along the Rhone from Dardagny has reopened - better option than walking through the village. Friendly coffee/food at Cafe Cartigny and excellent goats cheese from Gribi-Wible Farm (courtyard fridge/honesty box)

Also be sure to see the church and Dovecote. Plus farm of Gribi-Wibli (sp?)sells farmed goats cheese from honesty box.
