Milou - SAINT GERMAIN DE JOUX

At 700 m altitude, cottage for 4 people, with Nordic bath on reservation. Swimming, skiing, many activities possible. Have you ever heard of the Giant's Kettles? Let's explore them. The hamlet of Marnod sits atop the village at an altitude of 700 meters. In this small town of Saint Germain de Joux, you'll find gigantic cylindrical sinkholes, 2 to 3 meters deep. The Semine River and its tributary, the Combet, are solely responsible for this natural wonder. Swimming is dangerous in certain areas (due to the siphon effect in the kettles). For the more experienced or athletic, why not try the mountain trail? After the rhythmic climbs and descents, relax by one of the three lakes of the Haut Bugey region. Choose from Lake Nantua, Lake Sylans, or Lake Genin, the "Little Canada" of the Haut Bugey. In winter, about 6 km away, Giron is, depending on the season, a true paradise for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. At an altitude of 1000 meters, there are kilometers of slopes for everyone. After action-packed days, enjoy the gîte for 4 people with its different spaces and levels. And if happiness is found by the wood-burning stove, curl up on the sofa with a good book. For a moment of relaxation, upon request and weather permitting, a Nordic bath is available (€40). Ground floor: main entrance opening onto an entrance hall with a pull-out bed and a washing machine area. The living room and its lounge area, the open-plan kitchen, well-equipped and functional, are accessible via two steps.
