Génissiat Dam

Description

• Génissiat is an exceptional industrial rampart: it is monumental, its role in French postwar energy engineering, its contribution to electricity consumption in the Rhône Valley…
  
  CNR proposes a guided, interactive and educational visit, which combines art, history and technology. Films, mock-ups and objects allow visitors to discover the magnificent adventure of the River Rhone, and the energy mix generated by CNR from water, wind and sun.
