    The Lavours dam, located next to the town of the same name, crosses the Rhône. You can walk around the dam and the islands between which it extends.

      Via the weir at Lavours you reach the northern tip of the actually artificial island “Île Tournier”. This was created when a canal for shipping traffic was created in addition to the natural course of the Rhone. As a consequence, the current flow of the so-called “vieux Rhône” (the old Rhone) is only around five to ten percent of the original amount of water.
