Description

From the Aqualoisirs base in Seyssel (01) to Chanaz (73). You'll sail along the old Rhône in the heart of the Natura 2000 reserve to reach the charming village known as "Little Savoyard Venice".
Departing from the Aqualoisirs base in Seyssel, Ain, you'll paddle down the old Rhône in the heart of the Natura 2000 reserve to the village of Chanaz in Savoie, on the banks of the Savière Canal. Along the way, you'll encounter a series of small rapids that are fun and accessible to all. A multitude of bird species, as well as the mysterious European beaver, inhabit the Natura 2000 reserve of the Malourdie islands. Picnic areas are available to make the most of the day. Arriving in Chanaz, you'll discover the Savoyard village, its lake base and its houses on stilts. The "little Savoyard Venice", as it's known, will seduce you with its authenticity. You'll finish your hike by navigating part of the Savière canal, and discover the charm of this village on the water.
