Pont-d'Ain

Pont-d'Ain straddles the Ain River in the foothills of the Jura in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and its river crossing has long shaped it as a natural stopping point between Bourg-en-Bresse and the mountain country. The broad Ain carries water south from the Jura, while the town marks a transition from the Bresse plain to more wooded, rising terrain. Its château, associated with the former Dukes of Savoy, recalls the strategic importance of this route through the historic province of Bresse. Today, Pont-d'Ain remains a small riverside town with easy access to the Ain valley and the nearby Jura landscapes.
