Description of the walk

Park in the car park located to the side and at the rear of Sainte-Julie Town Hall.

(S/E) Take Rue de la Mairie northwards towards Chazey-Ain. In front of the school, use the pedestrian crossing to cross the road and continue to the fountain.

(1) Carry on straight ahead, then turn right onto thesecond street, the one leading to the Salle des Fêtes.
Continue along this path, ignoring all turnings to the right or left. After a 90° bend to the left, carry on straight ahead and cross the fields to reach the railway line.

(2) Walk along the right-hand side of the tracks, cross the Bois de Samans and join the Route de Leyment, the D77, at the level crossing.

(3) Cross it and continue straight ahead, still following the railway line. Leave the railway line and turn right, passing under a power line, then continue along a virtually straight stretch to reach the edge of the Bois des Crottes.

(4) Turn sharply right to follow the edge of the woods. Continue straight on until you reach the entrance to the hamlet of Le Trolliet.

(5) After passing the goat farm and just before the first houses, turn right onto Chemin du Golet, heading towards the centre. You will come out onto Place du Silo.
Turn left behind the old silo, heading towards Place du Lavoir, then walk up Rue du 11 Novembre 1918 to the fountain opposite the church.

(1) Turn left to easily find the car park at Sainte-Julie Town Hall (S/E).

There are virtually no "Visorando" hikes in the Meximieux-Pont d'Ain-Lagnieu area and its surroundings, even though there are many trails!
The question is: why does Open Runner offer so many more options?

I was looking for something close to home, and there aren't many circular walking routes in the area that aren't too long
I did it in 1 hour 20 minutes and stopped a few times
A nice walk, well signposted
It’s fairly flat with little variation in the landscape… it’s still the Ain plain
Be careful in summer as it must get quite hot in the sun as there’s very little shade
It’s possible to do it by bike with children (just be careful when crossing the road – keep going along the path and walk 50 metres along the edge… traffic moves quickly)
Some wooded areas are a bit muddy at this time of year, and there are patches of black ice and puddles on the paths
In short, a great way to clear your head!

A pleasant route through open countryside, with short sections along the edge of the woods; easy, but best avoided in hot weather

A lovely sunny walk. The advice to stick to the railway line to avoid walking on the road was helpful. It was a shame the goat farm was closed when we passed by.

A short, easy walk that takes about an hour and a half; the start is a bit monotonous along the road, but once you reach the railway line, the scenery changes...
No difficulty at all, but be careful between points 2 and 3: you must always stick to the railway line, as if you follow the path, you’ll end up walking on the road to rejoin the route

↔8.77 km ↗+98 m ↘-95 m ◔2h 45 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Meximieux (Ain)
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.

It will also take you through the beautiful village of Vaux-en-Bugey, which is crossed by the Buizin.

Walking La Roche de l'Église via Souclin

La Roche de l'Église par Souclin
↔13.42 km ↗+611 m ↘-609 m ◔5h 35 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Saint-Sorlin-en-Bugey (Ain)
A very pleasant trail from Saint-Sorlin-en-Bugey leads first to the old village of Souclin and then to the Roche de l'Église, which overlooks it. This hike will appeal to lovers of old stones: old villages and paths often lined with timeless stone walls. This route has few paved roads and offers many panoramic views of the Rhône between Bouvesse and Vertrieu, the north of the Isère and, in good weather, even Lyon.

Walking From Vaux-Févroux to the Croix de Bramefan circular

Visorando Member
De Vaux-Févroux à la Croix de Bramefan en boucle
↔12.44 km ↗+546 m ↘-543 m ◔5h 05 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Vaux-en-Bugey (Ain)
There are many ways to get to the Croix de Bramefan. This route is unique in that it first takes you along the ridge north of Vaux and, after crossing the Buizin stream, returns via the Bramefan ridge. Almost the entire route is through woodland. The "medium" rating for this hike is justified by the fact that the start of the route is all uphill and there are numerous crossroads that could lead you astray.

Walking Vaux en Bugey-Siccieu

Vaux en Bugey-Siccieu
↔28.98 km ↗+360 m ↘-331 m ◔8 hrs ▲Very difficult
⚑Departure from Vaux-en-Bugey (Ain)
Fifth stage of the Way of St James. This somewhat long stage takes you across the Rhône at Lagnieu. The rest of the route is less interesting and, above all, involves too much tarmac, but there is no alternative if you want to rejoin the GR®65.
