Description of the walk

Park in the Parc de Lorient car park in Montéléger. This park is located along the D261 between Valence (Route de Crest) and Montéléger.

(S/E) Leave the car park by going down the stairs and then take the path on the right. Wind your way through the park with games for children. With a bit of luck, you may spot some squirrels.

(1) When you reach the Véore River, take the path on the right and walk along the river on your left.

(2) Pass the confluence of the Véore and Pétochi rivers and continue until you reach the Beauvallon bridge.
The path is very green and you can hear lots of birds.

(3) Cross the bridge on the left and follow the D111 until you reach the bend, where you cross over to the Place du Marché.

(4) Cross the Place du Marché towards the Montée du Château, turn left towards the Route du Lavoir, then right to reach the entrance to the Parc du Lac de Beauvallon.

(5) Walk around the lake and admire the ducks, carp and beautiful park. Join Route de Montéléger.

(6) Follow it to the left.

(4) Retrace your steps, cross the bridge and continue along the Véore.

(2) Pass the confluence of the Véore and Pétochin rivers again and continue.

(1) Continue along the river until you reach a road.

Notes

A very easy hike to do alone or with the family.

Worth a visit

At the start, Lorient Park is very wooded and well laid out, a relaxing and fun place for children thanks to its small natural attractions. Most of the trail then runs alongside the Véore river, and the sound of the water is very relaxing. Halfway along the route, Lac de Beauvallon is well laid out, with benches for resting while watching the ducks, which will also entertain the children.

Accompanying a group of walkers aged between 60 and 90, this route was very good. Very pleasant, shaded, quiet and flat. Really very good.

A very pleasant short walk in beautiful surroundings. The route takes you through Lorient Park in Montéléger, along the river and through the village of Beauvallon. The description is accurate and the route is easy to follow.

The description in the village of Beauvallon is a little difficult to follow.
Why go back and forth on the same path when there is a path on each side of the river?
Otherwise, it's a lovely walk with two very pretty natural sites. I didn't know about it before.

Variation: descend the Véore along the right bank and return along the left bank to the wooden footbridge over the Pétochin, arriving at LORIENT Park after approximately 800 metres.
