The route offers some wonderful discoveries: the unique Chinagora site, Lake Créteil and its sweeping views, the hustle and bustle of a river port, as well as inhabited and almost secret islands, hidden away amidst lush vegetation.

It marked the beginning of a new journey eastwards to Bregenz on Lake Constance and then Bobbio.

A surprising walk which, on the map, looks very urban, but which, with very few exceptions, avoids tarmac roads.
