Description of the walk

Park in the car park of the Chomérac sports centre (Rue du Biove) where you will find the hiking information point.
Follow the white/yellow markings.

(S/E) Head towards the centre of Chomérac, pass under an archway and reach an intersection, then continue straight ahead (slightly to the left). At the church, turn right onto Route de la République. Keep to the right and cross Place du Champs de Mars to reach Rue du Château.

(1) Turn left, passing between the houses of Vieux Chomérac. Go down Rue Courte on the right and you will come out on Chemin du Pont. Turn left and follow this path to the bridge over the Véronne stream.

(2) Cross the Véronne on the Gibaud bridge and continue north on the yellow-markedPR® trail. This trail, lined with broom, turns into a wider path overlooking the Chomérac plain (you will see the Plateau de Gras on your right along the way). You will reach a road in the hamlet of Les Bayles (signpost with hiking information).

(3) Go down the road on the left for 1 km to reach the hamlet of Gouylon, where there are horse paddocks.

(4) Take the path on the left and you will reach the entrance to Chomérac at the Sicard bridge over the Véronne stream.

(5) Cross the bridge and head to the centre of Chomérac via Rue des Écoles. Walk past the church on your right and retrace your steps to return to the car park (S/E).

A nice, easy little walk. It takes just over an hour (not two hours as stated).

This is a walk that offers a beautiful view of Chomerac towards the end of the route, a circular route that we really enjoy.

A short, unpretentious trail for a lovely walk. As we were hiking with our two dogs, we set off from the cemetery car park and only kept the dogs on a lead when passing through the village. Make sure you wear good walking shoes as the trail can be very stony in places. We followed the route using GPS.
Thanks to the author.

A great way to discover Chomerac, the surprising part of the castle with its black stones, and at the end of the hike, the beautiful view of the hilltop village, but in between there are lots of rocks and a steep climb that 4-year-olds sometimes have to do on their dad's shoulders (we said to ourselves, panting!). On a sunny day, with the almond trees in bloom, it's a lovely little afternoon stroll, but not as easy as it looks!

A pleasant and accessible hike with beautiful views (St Symphorien, Vercors, etc.), especially the one overlooking the village of Chomérac. At the start of the hike, there is a long, rocky climb, but it is not difficult with walking poles and good footwear. Be sure to check the route after Les Bayles, as it is easy to take the wrong path. Thank you for sharing.

Hello,

It's a short family walk, but it's worth doing.

See you soon!

The hike is pleasant and not particularly difficult, but definitely not suitable for a 4-year-old child, as indicated. The description at the village exit is brief.

Thank you
The part in the village is pleasant but difficult to follow.
Once you leave the village, it's uphill at first, but it's fine.

Thank you for this hike feedback. How can I modify the route on the map? Is there a big difference?

Excellent short hike. Just one minor issue: the route on the map and the description do not match on the way back from the horse park. Nothing serious, no risk of getting lost, just missing out on a nice path (the one in the description). Thank you to whoever suggested this hike.
