Departure from Vongnes (Ain)
An easy walk through the woods, the Bugey vineyards and a few historic sites. Suitable for all seasons, but watch out for muddy paths or those that turn into streams after heavy rain. Discover the Chautagne plain and the Lavours Marshes, the Marignieu oak, planted in 1448, as well as the Caveau Bugiste and its small museum of wine-making trades. Wide paths with no difficulty or steep gradients, except where mud or streams have taken over certain sections of the path.
