The Area of Bage and Pont-de-Vaux
Taste without moderation !
Between Burgundy and Bresse, in the Ain department, lets discover the green and hilly landscape of the area of Bagé and Pont de Vaux. An unspoilt countryside where the huge meadows of the Saone valley mingle with the charming riverbanks, the village centres with their masses of flowers and shops,and the traditional farms built in the Bressan style.
Perfect for bike rides or hikes with the family.
Bordered to the west by the vast flood plain of the Val de Saône, which hosts exceptional fauna and flora; flowers protected for their rarity (Fritillaria meleagris) and birds by the thousand (corn crake, Eurasian curlew, Little egret...) can be found there. The peat moor of Boz, which hosts sundew and club moss, or the sand dunes of Sermoyer give an idea of the local natural wealth.
