Bois de Leyment

Highlight • Forest

Slightly technical gravel part with a lot of stones. The light is superb in summer. Can be a little difficult in the winter in gravel.

It was erected in the 15th century. Originally, it was just a modest oratory (half the size of the current chapel).

The artificial lake of Chazey-sur-Ain with its turquoise waters will offer you an ideal break on hot summer days. Please note that swimming is not supervised and you will have to live with the fishermen who are often present.
