Lake Nantua

Highlight • Lake

This glacial lake backed by limestone cliffs is sometimes sapphire and sometimes emerald in color - Alexandre Dumas wrote in his book Impression de voyage in 1834: “This pretty little sapphire blue lake set like a jewel, which nature fears to lose. »

Peney Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Peney viewpoint overlooks Lake Sylans, on which it offers a beautiful view. Classified since 1909, one can distinguish on its banks the ruins of the old ice factories which commercialized the ice extracted from the lake until 1917. The passage is located at the level of the tunnel of the same name.

Saint Michael Abbey

Highlight • Other

A small church in Nantua worth seeing.
Unfortunately, the town suffers greatly from the traffic on the D1084. The nearby motorway costs money.
