Valserine

River in eastern France

The river Valserine (French pronunciation: [valsəʁin]) is a tributary of the Rhône that flows for 47.6 kilometres (29.6 mi) from the Col de la Faucille in the Jura Mountains to its confluence with the Rhône at Bellegarde-sur-Valserine.[1] The Valserine Valley has great charm; it includes the Pont des Pierres that spans the river between Montanges and Mulaz (in the commune of Confort),[2][3] as well as the Pertes de la Valserine just north of Bellegarde-sur-Valserine, a canyon in which during the dry season the Valserine runs underground.
