Circular route to the south of Jassans-Riottier

An easy walk starting from Jassans-Riottier. A steep climb at the start, then almost entirely flat on the plateau. Beautiful views of the surrounding area.

Description of the walk

Park at Riottier in the small car park on the edge of Quai Maurice Utrillo.

(S/E) Cross at the pedestrian crossing, walk a few metres to the left, then turn right onto Chemin du Grand Ra. You will reach a roundabout where several roads meet.

(1) Take the road opposite (east). Further on, ignore the path on the left (which you will take on the way back) and continue to a new junction.

(2) Continue straight on for about 200 m, then take the path on the right towards the Château.

(3) Turn left onto the path leading down to the road (D936), cross carefully and follow the wide path opposite, which quickly turns right towards the centre of the hamlet.

(4) At the small chapel and cemetery, turn left onto Chemin du Château, then, just as it bends sharply to the right, leave it and take the path on the left. This runs alongside a copse and then turns left to rejoin the road you crossed earlier.

(5) Follow the road to the left, then leave it on the right to take a path that runs alongside some houses.

(3) Take the second path on the right. Once at the junction, turn right again to reach a junction you crossed on the way there.

(2) Turn left, then take the first path on the right towards a housing estate. You will reach a crossroads.

(6) Take the narrow path on the left which goes downhill and leads onto Rue Saint-Exupéry. Continue along this street to the right until you reach a star-shaped junction.

(7) Turn left. Just past the tennis courts, turn right to pass by the recycling bins, then cross the road carefully to reach the path along the Saône.

(8) Turn left and follow this path to the car park where you started; you’ll pass it first and then return to it by turning left (S/E).

Hello,
There were few signs and markers along the route.
We ended up at marker 223 in Bramafan due to a ‘lack of signposting’.
The end of the route took us from Bramafan to point No. 1 on the D28, which is very busy and where vehicles drive very fast along this long straight stretch.
Otherwise, a pleasant route; perhaps the signposting needs reviewing.

An easy walk across the plateau above Jassans, returning via the housing estates which offer lovely views of the Saône

Hello
There is an error in the route and directions. Point 2 is much closer to the road. It is at the corner where the road branches off to the left and the house at the start of the path.
At point 6, the tarmac road on the left is quite close to the sign marking the entrance to the village.

That's a shame; we'll reschedule it for a day when it's not raining...
