Description of the walk

Start from Place des Roches de Condrieu.

(S/E) Head due south and turn left, keeping the town hall on your left, cross Rue Nationale and continue straight on to the end of Rue Jean Jaurès.

(1) Turn right and head left to cross the bridge over the railway line above Saint-Clair-les-Roches station. Immediately turn right onto the small path to reach the Les Rembourdes housing estate.

(2) Turn right onto Chemin du Balay, then at the very end turn left onto Chemin des Chênes. Cross Rue de Mordant to reach Chemin de la Croix Berger on the opposite side. Continue along Chemin des Carosses, then reach a multi-way junction at the Red Cross.

(3) Continue straight ahead, ignore the first road on the right and carry on straight for 40 m.

(4) Please note: turn left onto the small dirt track known as Chemin de terre de Berthus. Join Chemin des Valottes (tarmac). Head downhill opposite until you reach Rue du Village de Saint-Prim and turn left onto this road towards the church.

(5) Turn right onto Chemin de Val qui Rit (tarmac at the start, then a dirt track on the right). Continue along this track until you reach the junction of two dirt tracks. Take the one on the right.

(6) Much further on, cross Route de Saint-Prim to take Chemin de la Combe de Loup. After the dirt track, you’ll reach Rue de Bellevue, then cross Rue de Mordant to reach Rue des Crêtes. You’ll come to the Red Cross crossroads, which you passed on the way out.

(3) Turn left then right to take the Red Cross Road (tarmac) opposite.

(7) Turn left onto the first small Chemin de Pré Margot.

(8) At the bottom of the dirt track, turn left onto the tarmac Rue de Pré Margot and follow it to the end.

(9) Turn left onto Rue Gambetta and then right onto Rue Pasteur. Cross the main road, turn left and continue to Place des Roches de Condrieu (S/E).

A walk taken one afternoon in late December. We set off from Les Roches de Condrieu in foggy conditions, but found sunshine up on the hills... only to be met by fog again on our return!
Thanks to the author of this walk!

A pleasant walk where you can admire beautiful houses with cobblestone walls, low stone walls and views of the Pilat massif, before finally beginning a lovely descent along the Chemin du Pré-Margot and enjoying more beautiful views of the vineyards and the marina at Les Roches de Condrieu.
Thank you to the author for this lovely route.

Hello.
It’s a shame about this route – there’s a lot of tarmac.
Lovely views all along the route (a beautiful view of the Port des Roches in Condrieu).
A detour to La Madone. No difficulty.
A good downpour to wash over the end of the route.
Best regards.
