The "reyssouze"

Reyssouze takes her spring 12 km upstream to Village, on the municipality of Journans. It crosses the city in eight on more than 10 km, to join the Saône 45 km downstream.
Slept on the ancient sector of Tanneries, the stream was formerly of use to the washerwomen. In the Middle Ages, it was diverted to feed diverse mills between Curtafray and Challes. It is from there, moreover, that comes to her, her name of canal of mills.
