Bourg-en-Bresse walks

Discover the medieval town of Bourg-en-Bresse. Tour the streets to admire the well-preserved half-timbered houses. Plaques on the remarkable façades explain their history.Departure from the car park of the Monastery of Brou, a remarkable building that is definitely worth a visit.

A short family walk with little elevation gain, on roads and paths through the woods, allowing you to walk around the village of Saint-Rémy.

A pleasant little walk in the Bois de Teyssonge to reach the Étang des Benonnières.

A lovely route that will take you to discover the various fountains of Ceyzeriat, as well as its wash house and, of course, its beautiful waterfall with its streams.

Walk in the Revermont between Revonnas and Ceyzériat via the Montagne Noire. Beautiful view of the plain and, to finish, a detour to the Ceyzériat waterfall.

I suggest you take a circular route in the Drom valley area, which is unusual in that it has no surface watercourses. After passing through the villages of Ramasse and Drom, the route climbs to a few hills, notably around the Chapelle de Notre-Dame des Conches, offering some lovely views.

A beautiful walk in the hills above Journans, accessible to all via roads or good paths.

A beautiful loop passing through a small, easy, unobstructed peak offering a wide panorama of the Bugey, the Bresse plain, the Beaujolais mountains and the Lyon region. The springs of the Reyssouze reward us at the end of the hike.

A loop via the Reyssouze mill, the Journans hill and the Petits Lapins clearing with its climbing wall. Best done on foot for a stroll or by running for the more athletic.

Starting from the picturesque medieval village of Treffort, I suggest a lovely route through Revermont, taking in a few viewpoints along the way. The main difficulty is the length of the route: see the Practical Information section.

A short walk around Bény with no particular difficulties.Be careful in the Bois de Marmont, as the path running parallel to the motorway can be muddy.

This walk takes you past the many ponds of the Dombes and crosses the Vieux Jonc twice.

Start from the car park of the multi-purpose hall in Saint-Martin-du-Mont. The trail winds its way around the Bois de la Cha woods, passing through Gravelle and Soblay.

An easy route that takes you past the many ponds of the Dombes. Bring your binoculars.

Walk around the ponds of Montrevel-en-Bresse.

Mont Myon from Pressiat, then a pretty circular through the forest to reach the Chapelle de Montfort.
