                I had wanted to walk through this flat countryside with its multitude of ponds for a long time. I suggest this route, which starts at Notre-Dame des Dombes Abbey. It will take you past some beautiful ponds and local farms. Depending on the season, you will be accompanied by the songs of a multitude of birds. Frogs will jump out of the water as you pass by and curious cows will come to meet you.

                This is an easy, short walk along quiet coastal paths in Meximieux, partly through farmland and partly through deciduous hedgerows. It is also a way to get close to some of the ponds in the Dombes and see lots of birds. At the Virgin of Saint-Sulpice, a beautiful panorama opens up before us, revealing the Ain plain, the Bugey and the Rhône, and even the Alps, depending on the weather.

                This hike offers a good route on the Cleyzieu plateau, starting from Montferrand (Torcieu).
The main difficulty is the climb to the Grottes du Crochet, where caution is advised in wet weather (walking sticks recommended).
Given the length of the route, the hike has been classified as difficult.
