The Condrieu vineyards

Description of the walk

Park in the car park, which has a children’s playground and access to the ViaRhona.

(S/E) Cross the D86 with care and continue straight ahead. Pass under the railway line and head up through the village of Vérin. Keep well to the right to avoid cars; you are not yet on a path.

(1) Once you reach the left-hand bend, take the small path on the right which leads you through the vineyards and up the slope. Once you reach the edge of the wooded area, head down to the right into the valley and follow the stream until you reach the hospital complex below.

(2) Cross the small footbridge on the right to reach the county road after passing under the railway line again.

(3) Cross at the pedestrian crossing and continue straight ahead along Rue Beau Rivage. Head towards the banks of the Rhône and the ViaRhona. Turn right and follow the river until you reach the car park where you started (S/E).

A nice little walk we went on to make the most of a break in the clouds on that misty autumn afternoon.
We nearly went the wrong way on the way down by turning right too early. The app confirmed our mistake and we got back on the right track by turning left.

There’s a mistake in the summary of the walk in Indre-et-Loire!
Otherwise, the description and the downloaded map are brilliant. The walk took 45 minutes.
