Down towards Arcine

An attractive landscape. The VR17 leads here over a country road. Unfortunately not so little traffic.

View of the Rhône

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a great view of the Rhone and the nature reserve "Etournel Marshes". The narrow gorge below the viewpoint acts as a natural fortification. For this reason, the Rhone almost resembles a small reservoir at this point. Be careful when stopping on the street: This is quite busy and also confusing. The view is best enjoyed undisturbed from one of the parking bays.

View of Château d'Arcine

Highlight • Castle

From the roadside of this inconspicuous turn-off to Arcine there is a wonderful view back to one of the last foothills of the Haut-Jura mountain range. The Château d'Arcine skilfully dominates the right-hand section of the picture on the Plateau de la Semine.

Seyssel

Highlight • Settlement

The village of Seyssel has the particularity of being on both banks of the Rhône. The Rhône separating at this precise place the department of Ain with that of Haute Savoie, the village therefore has two churches and two town halls: one for each department! The French administration is already quite complicated, I imagine that with this particularity, it is even more so for the inhabitants of this atypical village.
