We always think happiness lies elsewhere. And then you discover the Ain. The thrill of a flight in the Parc des Oiseaux, the sweetness of a galette in Pérouges, the deep silence of a visit to the Royal Monastery of Brou. Here, happiness slips into a canoe descent, a lakeside stroll, the taste of perfectly creamy Bresse poultry. The Ain forces nothing: it gives, it inspires, it surprises. Happiness is here – and it’s yours to share.
