Public toilets are located behind the lodges in the parking lot for cars and campers. We find far fewer public toilets on the Via Rhona than on the Atlantic coast (Normandy, Brittany, Velodyssee).

July 27, 2024,1️⃣🖐️🖐️...Chanaz ➡️ Belley via Rhône 🇲🇫

What kind of weather is this 🔆🥵🚲... just hot and today disgustingly humid too.
Unfortunately it's not any cooler by the water.
However, Chanaz is a beautiful place 😊👍.
It's similar to "Little Venice" in Berlin or Lübbenau in the Spreewald.
A trip here is worth it. There are enough bike paths along the Rhône 🇲🇫
