Located below the Château du Mollard, the Areymont spring was developed in 1838 with several basins and a large covered wash house, separated by the road.

The nearby wayside cross dates from the 18th century.

Saint-Sorlin-en-Bugey, a typical old village, which deserves to leave the cycle paths of the valley to enjoy a beautiful view from the forecourt of the church.

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.
