A beautiful Sunday in February, quite crowded at first (around the stadium), then quiet. It's winter, so most of the paths were muddy. According to my partner, the car is a Peugeot 203. In summer, it must be invisible under the brambles. Despite a slippery section on the way down to the golf course, we had a great time, and so did the dog.

Thank you for this beautiful hike. Ideal for a short half-day outing, with a variety of terrain and vegetation. I had a little trouble getting started. When you leave the car park (with the sports field on your right), the Chemin des Gautières is just on the left.

On a sunny day, a pleasant hike in the Lédonien hinterland, with a good climb up to Montaigu and a second one on the way out of Moiron. Beautiful landscapes in this rugged part of the hinterland.
The signposting is excellent. The maintenance of the trail on the descent between Montaigu and the Gulf of Val de Sorne could be better - a quick trim to remove the overgrown grass would be welcome.

A pleasant route with a few moderate climbs. A good warm-up for a slightly more challenging hike.

Very beautiful hike.
In Montaigü, take a detour through the municipal park and read the information boards explaining the life of Rouget de l'Isle.
Have a picnic on a low wall bordering the Val de Sorne golf course. You can even enjoy a coffee on the deckchairs at the golf course.
Be careful after setting off, as the lack of signposts led us straight onto the road. We got back onto the trail via a farm track running alongside the vineyards.
Wear good shoes, as the paths are stony.

Very muddy in rainy weather on the way back down to the golf course. Beautiful stone wall with ammonite inclusions. Don't miss the house of Rouget de l'Ile on the left in the village of Montaigu with the plaque marking General De Gaulle's visit.
A lovely walk that we will do again when the sun comes out.

A very pleasant route with beautiful scenery and the picturesque villages of Montaigu and Moiron!

Popular with joggers, mountain bikers and a horse rider, it's very friendly until you reach Montaigu!

Nothing to see at the Belvédère, the trees block the view of Lons. There is no orientation table!

Just before the wash house, there is a retaining wall under construction, built in the traditional stone style, which is magnificent!

The signposting is great!

We didn't see the car!

I recommend this ride to everyone. It can be extended as there are many other trails nearby.

We went to the Maison de la Vache qui Rit to end this beautiful day!

We went hiking today, 4 August 2020. It started off really well, but between the 1st and 2nd, we came across barriers and a municipal order prohibiting access to this path until 20 November 2020, with no "detour"....
we had two options:
1/turn around and go back to our sofa!
2/Walk down along the vineyard and join the paved road, turn left towards Montaigu, which is visible with its church. Before reaching the village, there is a wide dirt road on the left that you can take, then after 150 metres, take the road on the right and you will find yourself at number 3 in the description, or continue on the road to Montaigu and you will arrive at number 4...
It's a shame we couldn't see the wash house, which was the purpose of the hike! Never mind, we'll do it again later...
Otherwise, the signposting is excellent, it's impossible to get lost!!!

Starting from the centre of Lons-le-Saunier and taking my time, stopping to do crossword puzzles, it took me six hours.
Given the exceptional weather and after two months of lockdown, it will remain a "historic" day for me.
I didn't find the old abandoned car. It must have been moved.

Thank you again to the volunteers who mark the trails and for your website, which is essential for a successful outdoor outing. Patrice,

A beautiful hike alternating between meadows, pastures, vineyards and forest.
Magnificent landscapes and views.
Just before the wash house, a retaining wall is under construction, built in the traditional stone style, and already looking magnificent.
Among the village's attractions, don't forget the starting village of MACORNAY with its church and roof made entirely of lava stone
Easy walk
Moiron is also a pleasant place to visit, with a mix of renovated and unrenovated streets.
From Macornay, there are several hikes of varying lengths
Thank you for this hike

Hello,
I can confirm that the car is still there. We found it, well hidden by vegetation. However, we couldn't identify the model...
No problem finding the wash house.
the route is easy to follow and easy to access (we did it with children aged 6, 8, 10 and 15).
We didn't follow the route all the way to the end as night was falling, so we followed the road to finish the hike after the golf course.

Hello,

if anyone knows, I would be interested. ::Thank you::

Finding your way when hiking is not easy. If you are not confident with navigation, I recommend using the Visorando GPS app in addition to the description and map.

The aim is not to be glued to your smartphone, but to have a tool that allows you to check your location and clear up any doubts about your direction.

See you soon!

Very beautiful hike but lacks directions for completing the loop (we couldn't find it, which was a shame). If anyone knows, I'd be interested to hear. ::Thank you::
