バルトゥラン湖での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Beautiful little lake! Not a soul around at the start of the year. I recommend passing by if you're cycling.

Very pretty, calm and peaceful lake

Orientation table overlooking the small village of Vongnes, you can see particularly well the south of the Massif du Grand Colombier, the surrounding vineyards and the Marais de Lavours nature reserve.

It's quite easy to ride on a road bike (unless you ride the old-fashioned way with thin, over-inflated tires). The path is sometimes stony, but if you're comfortable on a bike, it's fine (in dry weather... if it's greasy, it must still be less pleasant).

In addition to the remarkable welcome from the guests and the renowned quality of their wines, Maison Angelot also has its own marked walking route through the vineyards around a superb chestnut tree over 500 years old and an orientation table with view of Mont Blanc to the east.

Small lake a stone's throw from the Rhône, the wine-growing villages of Bugey de Belley and Grand Colombier. You can swim there in summer at the beach on the south side or fish. To discover at the edge of the lake: its sculpted rocks and sculptures.

Lake Barterand was an interesting place of experimentation to promote the art of stone cutting. A giant sculpture was created in homage to the legends of Bugey and in particular here in Gargantua, on one side of the lake. This work first required cutting the rock in order to remove part of the hard limestone. Subsequently, 7 sculptors from all over France came together to create this work in bas relief where we find: Gargantua the giant man and gourmet who opens the rock with his powerful hands. The bunches of grapes are a nod to Bugey wines and the spirit of Bugey conviviality. It then transforms into drops then into a stream bathing the Vouivre, a half-charming, half-evil character, coming from the mists of the marsh.

Nice little lake in the hilly landscape between Rhône and Seran.
