ViaRhôna, from Saint-Gingolph to Thonon-les-Bains.
On the shores of Lake Geneva, on the border with Switzerland, Saint-Gingolph marks the start of the ViaRhôna itinerary.
Nestled between lake and mountains, the spa towns of Evian and Thonon-les-Bains will be highlights for strolling and relaxing along the quays in the immediate vicinity of Lake Geneva.
Pets welcome It is possible to travel with a pet transported in a luggage unit. But while it's tempting to consider having your dog run alongside your bike, this won't be possible everywhere: it will often have to be kept on a leash, and must be carried on sections of the route shared with motorized traffic. Dogs may not be allowed on certain departmental cycle paths or greenways.
In France, by law, dogs must be kept on a leash on public roads and in public places, on pain of a 1st class fine (up to €38; category 3 dogs), or a 2nd class fine (up to €150; category 1 - attack - and 2 - defense or guard - dogs must be muzzled).
Not all accommodations accept pets. If they do, a supplement and proof of vaccination may be required. Dogs are not allowed in food stores.
