GRP Littoral du Léman - Stage 4: Champanges > Thonon-les-Bains

This fourth stage of the GRP Littoral du Léman will take you from Champanges to Thonon-les-Bains. Along the Dranse, then on a rural path to the Chataigneraie park, you will then walk along the lake of Geneva to the center of Thonon-les-Bains.

Starting from Champanges, this stage will take you first to the domain of Ripaille, with a part along the Dranse. With a 3,000 year old history, this domain is a worthy representative of the history of the territory.

From the Gallo-Roman times to the Middle Ages, until today, Ripaille has always been a place where residents and visitors come to recharge their batteries. The Domaine now belongs to the Necker-Engel family, descendants of Louis XVI's Minister of Finance. Visits of 1h30 are proposed for the price of 10€.

You will then walk along the lake to reach the center of Thonon-les-Bains. Thermal city par excellence, take advantage of it to relax and recharge your batteries after your 4th step.

Take also the time to discover the basilica of Saint François de Sales with its magnificent vaults and stained glasses.
