Lit au Roi Lake borders the commune of Massigneu-de-Rives. It lies on the border between Ain, Savoie, and Haute-Savoie. It's an excellent place to stop, picnic, and enjoy the lakeside during the summer.

Bike tour with rented 3-speed bikes 🚲 (luckily it was flat 😄). Unfortunately, there was a detour which forced us to use a busy road for a few kilometers. We then ignored another detour 😎 and simply rode through the construction site. The weather cooperated ☀️ and the scenery was also very beautiful, especially in Chanaz 😊
