At no. 352 (2), turn right onto Chemin du Pré Cousin.
At the stop sign (3), turn right onto Route du Pont du Reyre (cemetery and carpooling area). Take the first left, Chemin des Granges Basses (dead end, private road), and continue downhill for 200 metres.
Sign on the right for Sentiers des Granges Basses.
Turn right at the Mi-Mort sign and go up for 150 metres.

Second outing on this short route; always a pleasure, really ideal at the end of April. It had rained four days earlier and some sections were still very muddy, so make sure you wear good shoes and look out for easier passages created by other walkers. The last stretch is on tarmac with no shade and tough in the middle of summer. We'll be back!

Nice route, varied landscapes, but the ground was very muddy.
Not recommended in winter or if it has rained in the previous days.

A very pleasant short hike with many passages under trees in the forest, along meadows with cows and horses... all just a 20-minute drive from the centre of Lyon! It took us less time than advertised = only 90 minutes, and we took our time...

We completed the loop from La Bergeonnière in an hour. It was excellent! Most of it was in the shade with very beautiful paths

Actually, we also went round in circles a bit trying to find the start, but we didn't realise it was a spelling mistake...

A very pleasant and easy route. The only thing that needs changing is the name of the starting point: it's not "place" but "plasse", which delayed us in finding the location, as it was impossible to find using geolocation tools

Great, very shaded circuit just a stone's throw from the town. Short and easy. We did it again with the children despite the heatwave, setting off early in the morning with no problems.

A very pleasant hike through beautiful countryside. I used the app on my phone and didn't need the description. Please note that after point 6, on the Chemin du Château de Dommartin, there are numerous "Private property - No trespassing" signs, which caused us some concern, but they seem to refer to the woods on either side and not the path itself (?).
We left from Dommartin-Lissieu station, which has very convenient parking.
