STATUS

Once a winding river, the Chamberonne bears the marks of its domestication between the road and the lake. Contrary to its meandering upstream, it runs in a straight line along the Parc Bourget.

However, a closer look reveals the typical characteristics of estuaries: a cool and humid atmosphere, the sound of the water and the rich fauna and flora of this hybrid environment between land and water.

La rivière augmentée proposes a 400-meter walk as part of a reflection on the renaturation project for the Chamberonne. The qualities of the riverbed are enhanced by four physical and sensory devices, which together create an immersive experience. A sedimentary topography evokes its meandering past, a hybrid flora creates a biological link between the river ecosystem and that of the park, a misting device emphasises its climatic conditions, and a sound system amplifies the sound of the swirling water.
