철제 다리. 수세기 동안 사람들은 Thoirette에서 Christouphe 나루터(승객이 거주하던 마을 이름)를 이용하여 Ain 강을 건넜습니다. 1808년부터 1811년까지 강변 마을들은 이 나루터 대신 다리를 건설하기 위해 기금을 모았습니다. 이 프로젝트는 Simplon 도로 건설을 담당하던 엔지니어인 Orgelet의 Cordier 씨가 설계했습니다. 이 작업에는 여러 장애물이 있었습니다. 1829년에야 철제 다리가 건설되었고, 이는 1843년에 무너졌습니다. Ain 주는 현재 통행이 가능한 철제 다리로 이를 교체했습니다. Statistique de la France - 1855 - Ministère de l'Agriculture by Imprimerie Impériale in Paris - p53.

A 10 km climb from the small roundabout in Châtillon, it's more like 14 km from the Nantua road or the center of Bellegarde. The gradient is fairly steady, ranging from 5.5% to 7.2%, with about ten small steep sections at +8.5%. Very quiet, with very few cars. The road is generally in good condition, but nothing more. There are some beautiful views along the way.

This glacial lake, backed by limestone cliffs, is sometimes sapphire in color, sometimes emerald - Alexandre Dumas wrote in his book Impression de voyage in 1834: "This pretty little sapphire blue lake, set like a jewel, that nature would fear to lose."

The Col de Bérentin connects the Valserine Valley to the Retord Plateau, passing through the beautiful Jura forests. Its ascent is gradual and the road is little traveled.

Second pass for today. Pass elevation 1144 m above sea level. Long climb, basically from Saint Germain to here. A total of about 700 m elevation gain and 12 km. The gradient is only 4-6%, but with 20 kg of luggage, everything is difficult ;) Here, too, the weather was still quite cool in very early April. Partly rain, partly windy.

Rest after a 12 km climb from Saint-Germain-de-Joux.
