Circular starting from Col des Fans
A pleasant, fairly flat route with little tarmac and some lovely views in beautiful countryside. The natural surroundings are stunning and the route is varied.

Le Grand Clos and Jamaysse
This walk on the Jameysse hillside, starting from the football stadium, is ideal for summer because much of the walk is in the shade of the woods on wide paths.

The time indicated can be shortened depending on your pace.
