These gorges are particularly fascinating when the water flow is significant. My recommendation is to come and admire this jewel of Ain in spring, when the snow melts.

These gorges are so narrow that you can step over them, making you feel like you've put on 7-league boots. Be careful, however, and take the small bridges made of simple flat stones placed above these gorges.
You will take the opportunity to have a breathtaking view, ten meters below, on the pots dug by the blue water of the Séran.
Magnificent and impressive!
