A lovely little hike in the Mornant region with beautiful autumn colours. No worries about finding your way with the Visorando app, and nothing but pretty paths.

We have actually combined the first part of this route (up to the point (5)) with the one entitled "Around Chaussan" (starting from the same point common to both) to create a 9.5 km walk.
The entire walk is very varied and enjoyable

A walk suitable for families. As mentioned in a comment: at bridge 2, turn right at the cross. However, I did not see a cross at bridge 3.
The paths were easily passable at the end of July and we enjoyed the rolling hills of the Monts du Lyonnais.

A pleasant walk, just make sure you don't take the wrong turn at the junctions.
Magnificent panorama,
It's a bit uphill at the start

A pleasant warm-up after winter for little feet more accustomed to the school playground than to bumpy paths!

an ideal afternoon walk. At point 2, just note that you need to turn right at the cross.
You can extend the route by going via Les Ravières.

Hello,

Yesterday, we went on our first hike with Visorando around Chaussan, in the Monts du Lyonnais.
two adults and one dog.

I chose "easy". Thank goodness we didn't have our children with us!

The first part climbs, climbs, climbs...
The view is beautiful from the top, but you have to work for it!
We were relieved to realise that we would have to come back down to get to the car, phew!
The second part is more pleasant, even if there is less shade.

Be careful, there are lots of crosses, you could almost get lost.

For dog lovers: you'll pass by a few farms guarded by dogs that are tied up but noisy, so keep an eye on your companion. We also came across rabbits in the meadows. There's only one small, almost dry stream to cool your paws. But there's a water source at the start and finish in summer.
