Artemare is a French commune in the Ain department in the Rhône-Alpes region of eastern France. The inhabitants of the commune are known as ''Artemariens'' or ''Artemariennes''〔(Inhabitants of Ain ) 〕 ==Geography== Artemare is a commune in Valromey 16 km north of from Belley and 8 km north-west of Culoz and the Rhône. Artemare is exposed to the south between two chains of the Jura Mountains: the Planachat in the west and the Colombier culminating in Grand-Colombier (1538 m) to the east. This village is between Lower-Bugey and Upper-Bugey not far from Savoie and Isère. The commune can be accessed from several roads: the D69D from Champdossin-Massignieu in the west, the D31L from Pont in the north, and the D904 from Ameyzieu in the east which continues south from the village to Virieu-le-Grand. The main railway line from Modane to Lyon passes through the south of the commune from west to east. Apart from the village, which has quite a large urban area, and the hamlet of Cerveyrieu, the rest of the commune is mixed farmland and forest.〔(Google Maps )〕 Artemare is watered by a network of four rivers: *the River Yon, enclosed in a canal through the village and used to work sawmills and to feed trout ponds. It flows into the Séran which is a tributary of the Rhone which it joins near Culoz *the Séran traverses the hamlet of Cerveyrieu which gives its name to a beautiful waterfall about fifty metres high *the Arvière (locally called the Groin) forms a confluence with the Seran. *the Ruisseau de l'Eau Morte (Dead Water) The Groin and the Séran cut deeply into the limestone terrain. The Groin rises in the commune of Vieu from a spectacular intermittent source before forming a deep canyon visible from ''Devil's Bridge'' in Vieu. The Séran rises upstream of the Cerveyrieu waterfall from beautiful ''Giant's kettles'' where water swirls around - but only when the Seran is not dry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artemare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
