TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE LOCAL HISTORY!

Make the most of the guided tours organised by the “Savoie Mont Blanc” heritage guides, to discover the villages of Seyssel and visit a permanent exhibition at the Maison du Haut-Rhône.

There you will learn about our history and the close links we have had with the Rhône through the inland navigation activities that brought wealth to the region from the Roman era to the 19th century.

Make sure you visit the Château de Clermont and its Renaissance courtyard, the ruins of Chaumont Castle and the beautiful village, the Génissiat dam, and our collection of museums and art galleries.
