After leaving Colombier, enjoy the ride to the Rhone and along the Rhone. It is 10° warmer down here and for the second time since I left in mid-March, you can feel something like spring. It is April 2nd.

Chanaz – Savoy's Little Venice

Highlight • Settlement

Chanaz is a historic and atypical village on the banks of the Rhône where many craftsmen have created their workshops and shops, making the place very lively.

Activities are also organized throughout the year within the municipality. There is a very interesting Gallo-Roman museum in Chanaz. For visits, consult the following site: musee-gallomain-chanaz.fr
