Description of the walk

Start in front of the church.

(S/E) Head south and follow Rue du Milieu towards Mare Étienne. Cross Petite Rue on the right and Ruelle Foissotte on the left. At the entrance to a left-hand bend, continue straight ahead.

(1) Immediately take thefirst path on the right. Note the Mare Étienne on the right (stone sculpture of a frog in memory of the nickname once given to the inhabitants of the village). At the end of the path, turn right onto a white road. Then continue along Rue du Bas de la Corne.

(2) At the T-junction, turn left onto Rue de la Saône. Pass under the high-voltage power lines and then under the motorway bridge. At the junction immediately ahead, turn right. Ignore the road on the right and continue to the banks of the Saône.

(5) At the crossroads, turn right onto Rue du Chemin de Labergement. Walk alongside the market gardens. Stay roughly parallel to the high-voltage power lines, then veer left with the road.

(6) At the crossroads, cross the D24, follow it to the right for a few dozen metres and take thefirst left, Rue des Meix. Continue straight ahead.

An easy hike After walking along the Saône river and learning how a lock works, you will come across huge market gardens. Interesting, but perhaps a little tedious due to the flatness of the landscape.

Too bad the church was closed!

Great route
Wore a cap as recommended in another review on this first hot day (28°C). One big downside for me: too much tarmac.
Great: the water point at the cemetery.
Unfortunately, the church was not open, which was a shame.

An interesting route along the banks of the Saône... a bit sunny on the way back... perhaps not ideal in the height of summer... don't forget your hats...!!

We went on a great little hike on Saturday, 19 February 2022. There weren't many people there given the season, but the hike was pleasant, not too long and easy to access. We were with my 9-year-old son, who also walked well.
Thank you.
