A very beautiful walk starting from the car park by the bar in Saint-Cyr-de-Valorges. You’ll walk through the countryside around Saint-Cyr and Violay, passing the Échanssieux dam and then through Violay, before returning via Les Crêtes (GR®®7), where you’ll be treated to two magnificent views: to your right, the Monts du Lyonnais (and, on a clear day, the Alps and Mont Blanc); to your left, the Monts du Forez, the Auvergne and the Cantal.

A lovely, undulating walk leading to Château de l’Aubépin, a 13th-century feudal residence restored in the early 20th century. The route offers lovely panoramic views of the Beaujolais Vert and the Côte Roannaise.
