Pays de Gavot is the name of the area south of Lake Geneva, which stretches between Publier and Saint-Gingolph and encloses the Pays d'Évian Vallée d'Abondance communes. Seen from Lake Geneva, this stretch of land forms a plateau that is about 900 - 1100 m high (apart from the elevations). In terms of flow, this is also the catchment area of the Dranse, which flows into Lake Geneva. This area was essentially formed by the retreat of the Rhone glacier after the Würm glaciation, in which the glacier left sediments, moors and lakes were formed and the typical vegetation with plants appeared. This landscape is part of the Geoparc Chablais. The Chablais describes the country south of Lake Geneva, including parts of Switzerland. In the Pays de Gavot essentially only cattle breeding and dairy farming is practiced. There are significant requirements for agricultural use within a water protection area.
The educational trip "Marais de Maravant" at the high school in Sait-Paul-en-Chablais shows this to some extent. It takes about 45 minutes to cover the 1.3 km.
