Chapelle Saint-Jean-Baptiste (Illins) walks

This is an unpretentious walk. It alternates between different landscapes (countryside, forest) and surfaces (gravel paths, small asphalt roads). If the weather is clear, you will have many views of the surrounding peaks. There are two small hills (not too steep) to keep you in shape.

Starting from Luzinay, between wetlands and shady forests. Beautiful views of the Pilat, Vercors and Mont Blanc mountains and the Lyon metropolitan area. Depending on the season, between the start (S/E) and point (3), in the morning you may see storks resting in the wetlands of the Sévenne valley, grey herons and great egrets. The first part of the route, up to point (6), is mainly flat terrain on small roads with little traffic during the day and a few small paths. After the village of Villette-de-Vienne, deer and pheasants can often be seen on the hillsides, for those who know how to be discreet and observant. The end of the route takes you past the medieval chapel of Illins (11th and 13th centuries) and its cemetery. There are no particular difficulties in terms of orientation, but signposts are rare, if not non-existent.

A lovely walk, mainly through woodland above Villette de Vienne, climbing up to the Col de Bel Air. This walk is very pleasant in hot weather. It offers a beautiful view of the Alps and the Pilat.

This hike is located in the hills above Luzinay, straddling the departments of Isère and Rhône. For geography enthusiasts, you will pass through four different municipalities in 12 km! This hike offers beautiful views of the Alps, the Vercors, the Pilat massif and the city of Lyon. There are only 600 m of busy road (and that's relative!). Most of the route consists of paths or dead-end roads leading to farms.
