The village of Chézery was built around the Cistercian abbey founded in 1140 by monks from Fontenay, in Burgundy. All that remains of the old abbey is the guesthouse which once provided shelter to pilgrims (now the Relais des Moines) and the parish church. The parish church was attached to the monastic church, which testimony from the time describes as being “big and beautiful”, with a nave with three aisles and six bays and a spire over the crossing of the transept. This closed off the cloister which, on the three remaining sides, served the abbot’s housing. Opposite the conventual church was a mill, a forge, a bread oven, a garden, a reserve with carp, an infirmary, and more... In total, it is said that the whole structure had more windows than there are days in the year!

The Beauchâteau lookout offers a spectacular view of the Crêt de Chalam, the Roche Franche and the Valserine valley, with the village of Chézery below. A breathtaking panorama

The Sous-roche dam upstream from the Dragon’s bridge was installed between the two world wars on the Valserine, straddling the municipalities of Chézery-Forens and Champfromier, to use the water’s hydroelectric power. A fish pass positioned on the left embankment allows trout to cross the obstacle. However, the structure limits the circulation of sediments dragged along by the river. Under the Wild River contract, solutions are being studied to improve the transportation of sediments, which is vital for the proper operation of the river.

Between this succession of high walls, Dragon’s bridge, built in 1891, only has a few metres to span to cross the river. A customs guard house was installed on the right bank to monitor the passage towards the duty-free zone in the Pays de Gex, delineated by the Valserine. On the other bank, a shop offered colonial goods and products from the duty-free zone up until 1921. The inhabitants of Champfromier tell of how their parents or grand-parents would walk to the Dragon’s farm, where duty-free coffee was sold. The game was to hide illicit products under the women’s skirts, away from customs officials. Smuggler’s tales are now part of local folklore.

The Valserine is the first French river to be labelled a “Wild River”, a label that less than 1% of French rivers are able to claim... From its source to its end in Bellegarde (46 km), its condition close to a natural state makes this river a jewel of nature. Many emblematic species are present: the yellow-bellied toad, large populations of brown trout in a good condition of preservation, all completely natural... Since 2015, a wild river contract leads actions to ensure the free circulation of fish and sediments, to rehabilitate wetlands near waterways, to eradicate invasive plants, to eliminate former riverside landfills, etc. Find out more:  www.rivieres-sauvages.fr/ www.parc-haut-jura.fr/fr/site-habitant/gestion-environnement/zones-humides-rivieres/valserine-riviere-sauvage.263-280-1104__1623.php

As part of the wild river agreement, the Park and its partners are attempting to eliminate a tenacious invasive plant known as Asian knotweed. Every month, Asian knotweed plants are ripped out and taken to a special compost heap. Salt is scattered over its roots to attack the rhizomes that allow it to spread. The presence of Asian knotweed on the riverside is the result of the introduction of infested soil during landscaping works and of the re-mobilisation of rhizomes during floods. Never throw a piece of Asian knotweed root into water or on land, as it could grow back again.

This magnificent waterfall flows all year round. It is located on the path leading up to Crêt de Chalam via Grand and Petit Mannet.

The Gralet mountain pasture is marked by a rugged and rocky topography, made up of small inclines and forest areas. Here, the dry grasslands grow on thin soils. Sedum grows on the bare rocky inclines and attracts the Apollo caterpillar. During the height of summer, this large white butterfly with red eyespots is easy to spot amongst the multitude of smaller orange species such as the heath fritillary or darker species like the woodland ringlet.

Renovated in 1989, the typical Gralet chalet, located at an altitude of 1450 metres, has a kitchen, attached to the sheep-pen, and a 19-bed dormitory. These two rooms are freely-accessible (although on “reservation” with the Péron town hall for hiking groups). The rest of the building is reserved for the alpine farmer.

Fontaine Bénite (“Holy fountain”) is an oratory that was built in 1648 by an inhabitant of the valley - Philibert Mathieu - in honour of Saint Roland. According to legend, Saint Roland made water spring from a source here which was known to cure headaches and stomach aches, as well as eye conditions. This was a place of worship and of pilgrimage.
