With its 1,200 étangs, this amazing and captivating region has earned a reputation as the land of a thousand lakes. The shores are reflected in their mirror surfaces and the sky becomes one with these still, freshwater lakes that cry out for a skimming stone.

Here, between the rivers Saône, Rhône and Ain, the ecosystem is exceptional and the wildlife thrives in peace.
