Around Ain valley in Cerdon country (Ain)

The Ain Valley, located in the Pays de Cerdon, lies at the heart of the Bugey massif (southern Jura) and is a land of water, limestone, and vineyards. The Ain River carves deep meanders between steep, wooded cliffs, creating a spectacular landscape, and has historically been harnessed for hydroelectricity. The Pays de Cerdon is world-renowned for two major treasures: its exceptional prehistoric caves and its vineyard clinging to the hillsides. The latter produces the famous Bugey-Cerdon, a unique sparkling rosé wine (known as the ancestral method). The region thus offers a perfect blend of green tourism, caving, and winemaking, all amidst a preserved nature.
