Public toilets are located behind the lodges in the parking lot for cars and campers. We find far fewer public toilets on the Via Rhona than on the Atlantic coast (Normandy, Brittany, Velodyssee).

Mont de Cordon is a 401m high mountain. It houses the Château de la Barre which dominates the Rhône and would have once controlled its passage. For only 401m in height, it offers spectacular views.
