Description of the walk

Parking: Saint-Rémy village square, opposite the school and near the church.
Part of the route is marked in yellow.

(S/E) Take the church path that runs alongside the cemetery and descends towards the river.

(1) Cross the footbridge over the Veyle, continue straight ahead on the path that turns right into the forest. Stay on the main path and join the road.

(2) Take the path on the right, marked in yellow, which runs alongside the road, then cross the bridge over the Veyle. Ignore the road on the right and go up to the left. At the T-junction in front of Luisandre, turn left and continue straight ahead.

(3) At a place called La Vierge, follow the road to the left and then, at the next intersection, turn right (power line pylon). Pass the place called Sapaton.

(4) At the renovated farm, leave the road and take a wide path on the right. A few dozen metres before the path is blocked by a barrier, turn right onto a footpath (yellow arrow) which crosses a small wood to reach the transformer.

(5) Turn left and cross a bridge to join the D67c.

(6) Turn right and continue straight on until you reach the junction with Chemin des Baisses.

(7) Turn right to head back up towards the village, leaving the D45 on your right.

(8) Turn right, then right again into the housing estate to return to the starting point (S/E).

Route court around Bourg en Bresse. A pretty footbridge over the Veyle.
We added a small circular 2 km loop, passing close to the TULIPES (water towers) of Corgenon and stopping at Corgenon station (reconstruction in the village).

The start of the route is pleasant, crossing the Veyle river is easy via a small footbridge.

The trail and small roads pass through farmland and small woods.

The end of the route takes you along a fairly busy road, which is best avoided, but doing so would lengthen the route.

The route is very easy, even for families. The directions are very average and you often have to wonder where simple details would allow you to follow the route without hesitation: overlapping with yellow hiking markings, forks described in more detail.
The most enjoyable part: a passageway to a beautifully renovated isolated house, on a path lined with daffodils (hike taken at the end of February), with horses in the adjacent meadows.
The least pleasant part: a section on the road at the end of the route, with motor traffic. This would probably be difficult to avoid without shortening the walk considerably.

Nice walk in the sunshine, but the return journey along the D 67 C is a bit tedious (quite a lot of traffic).

As the traffic on the D67c was a little too heavy for our liking, we took the D45 between 7 and 8 on the right.
This allowed us to return to our vehicle at the starting point via a small road with no traffic.

A lovely spring walk to get you started. No elevation gain, but a bit too many small tarmac roads.
