Pont de Vaux

Pont de Vaux (01) is a beautiful green town, benefiting from a marina, in the heart of the shopping city. It is the northern gateway to the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes region, located between Saône and Bresse and between Mâcon and Tournus. All the assets are there: gastronomy, museums, walks, fishing …

Leaving from its port with 225 rings, you can leave for a cruise of a few hours on the Saône aboard the boat “Ville de Pont de Vaux 2”. It is along the smallest canal in France that you will sail. From the large bridge, explore the flora and fauna of the Val de Saône, classified as a “Natura 2000” area. A bucolic moment.

Also come to the Maison de l’Eau et de la nature where a fun and interactive course, suitable for the youngest, will be offered to you to discover the natural riches of the flooded meadows of the Val de Saône. The mysteries of the peat moor with its carnivorous plants will no longer hold any secrets for you …

Another purpose of visit, the museum of the painter Antoine Chintreuil and his extraordinary cabinet of curiosities.
