Lovely family walk all along the river. Some boards will inform you on the importance of water and watermills in the past. Picnic tables are available on site.

Description
Fed by water seeping down from the Jura, the Allondon is a resurgent stream that flows from several springs at the foot of a small rocky overhang. Abundant when the snow melts in March, or after a heavy storm, its flow can reach 7 m per second. On the other hand, in periods of low water, such as August or September, it is rather weak, and the springs can even dry up in periods of severe drought. However, until the last century, the location and liveliness of its waters constituted a godsend that the men and women of this small territory were able to make the most of, as evidenced by the ruins of the Naz-Dessus and Crozet mills that we came across.
