The Dombes is a plateau in the Ain department at the north of the Rhone-Alpes region.

At around 300 metres altitude the Dombes plateau is extensive, flat, and covered with small lakes (the French word étang is better than lake, because it suggests a smaller lake / area of water, and man-made). The 1000+ lakes here are man made, dug for the large part by monks wishing to use the clay.

The region is now most renowned as a bird-watching and fishing region, and there is an enormous diversity of birdlife to be seen. A popular way to explore the Dombes region is to follow the 'Roue des Etangs' which passes through Villars-les-Dombes - home to a large bird park - and Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne.

The main towns to visit in the region are Perouges and Trevoux.

Note that the region can have 'unpredictable' weather, and rain, fog and low-lying cloud are not uncommon!
