Description

The "Rendez-vous with the Seille" walk starts from the village church square, then crosses the Sermoyer meadow to discover the old Seille and then the Truchère lock leading to the Maillance wood.

The Val de Saône is home to floodplains that stretch as far as the eye can see. Rich in plant species, it offers a succession of colours through the seasons. From April onwards, after the floods, purple dominates with the flowering of the meadow fritillary, the meadow cardamine, the cuckoo flower lychnis, and so on.

The Seille is a delightful, little-known waterway. It meanders through the fields and groves that border it, where the famous Bresse chickens are reared. There are plenty of pleasant places to moor, often close to riverside inns.

The Vieille Seille is a former bed of the Seille that history has transformed into a dead end that is fed from time to time during periods of high water. It was created in 1814 by Prussian soldiers returning from Napoleon's campaigns who cut a meander in order to allow merchant ships to sail as far as Louhans. This 30-hectare federal oxbow straddles the communes of La Truchère and Sermoyer.

We also recommend the tour "des Charmes" (10.7km / 2hrs 40mins) whitch passes the Dunes des Charmes.
