Lion (rivière) - Affluent de l'Allondon walks
The Journans
An easy walk centred on the Journans and its ‘little brother’, the Petit Journans. Born from the torrential streams of the Creux de l’Envers valley, the Journans rushes down the slopes of the Jura. It then flows through the northern part of the Pays de Gex before joining the Lion in the commune of Saint-Genis-Pouilly. This circular route largely follows the river’s course but also takes in the surrounding countryside.
