Nestled in pastures at an altitude of 1,000 meters, Giron is the highest (and sunniest!) village in the Ain. Welcoming, with breathtaking views, it is ideal for an overnight stop.

This boundary stone marked the border between Franche-Comté (north) and French Bugey (south). To the east, the Pays de Gex was separated by the Sardinian Corridor, in which the Spanish Way was located.

The Col de Bérentin connects the Valserine Valley to the Retord Plateau, passing through the beautiful Jura forests. Its ascent is gradual and the road is little traveled.

There is a monument there commemorating the local resistance fighters, who used this meadow to parachute in equipment for the British secret services during the Second World War.

A stronghold of resistance and an ancient milestone on the Sardinian road that led to the Netherlands in the 17th century. A very beautiful view of the Jura Mountains, too.
