The Alps and the Jura are a fantastic playground for all rowers. With the three great alpine lakes Annecy, Le Bourget and Léman (lake Geneva) on the programme, you are being spoiled. You will also row on the Jura jewel of Lac Saint-Point as well as on the Lac du Der, the largest reservoir in France.

On our way to the Alps, we will stop in Mâcon for a good row on the river Saône. Did you know that the "Macon" blades owe their name to the 1959 European championships where they were first used ?

Icing on the cake: the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.
