Saint-Pierre-de-Chandieu walks

Near Lyon, a day's walk along beautiful paths. Woods, a few hills, beautiful landscapes and a beautiful castle.

From the 19th-century Romanesque church of Saint-Barthélémy to the Bois du Recours, this pleasant short walk offers magnificent views of Lyon, its mountains and the snow-capped Alps in fine weather.

This is a nice walk which mostly consists of walking around the town through beautiful forests and fields. This route is a nice alternative to avoid any slippery and muddy parts when it has rained a lot. It also passes through a historical cemetery and church where you can stop for a lunch break.

A walk mainly on paths, along the Fausse, Charoin, Les Endiennes and Noyon valleys between Marennes and Villette-de-Vienne.

Starting from Luzinay, between wetlands and shady forests. Beautiful views of the Pilat, Vercors and Mont Blanc mountains and the Lyon metropolitan area. Depending on the season, between the start (S/E) and point (3), in the morning you may see storks resting in the wetlands of the Sévenne valley, grey herons and great egrets. The first part of the route, up to point (6), is mainly flat terrain on small roads with little traffic during the day and a few small paths. After the village of Villette-de-Vienne, deer and pheasants can often be seen on the hillsides, for those who know how to be discreet and observant. The end of the route takes you past the medieval chapel of Illins (11th and 13th centuries) and its cemetery. There are no particular difficulties in terms of orientation, but signposts are rare, if not non-existent.

A beautiful, bucolic walk to explore the riches of the town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier. I recommend following the route with the app so you don't miss any poorly marked trails.

In autumn, the Fromentaux woods are full of chestnuts. In good weather, you can see Mont Blanc and the Alps from the heights. The route also takes us to the small spring at Maison Badin, passes through La Beaume and Les Combes, crosses the small stream of La Vesonne and returns via the peaceful By pond. We also walk alongside numerous meadows where horses graze.

Val d'Ozon spring hike for disabled people. 12 km route in the hills above Ternay.

A fairly easy hike alternating between forest trails and wide open views. Best done in dry weather with clear skies to make the most of the views of the Alps and the beautiful hills and valleys at the start of the route. This is an opportunity to discover the Château de Septème.

In good weather, you will have magnificent views of the Alps and the Lyon metropolitan area.

An easy walk from Janneyrias to Saugnieu, passing two pretty lakes and the famous site of the Battle of Anthon in 1430.

An easy walk in the village of Estrablin which, over the course of two hours, offers large open views over the surrounding hills and mountains. We mainly take small peaceful tarmacked country lanes, which means you can enjoy a walking excursion even after heavy rainfall and when the paths are almost impassable.

A rural walk through the Vernéa valley and woods. In the second part, you will walk along the crest of the hill and enjoy beautiful views of the Pilat mountains.

Did you know that there are traces of mining activity in Communay (south of Lyon)? To discover them, follow this easy path. This hike can be done in two stages: 1) around the Sauveur, Baytan, Guérin and Dufélix pits; 2°) around the Espérance shaft headframe (rebuilt by associations linked to the mine) and a small slag heap, now wooded.

Discover this leisure area located a stone's throw from Lyon, accessible by tram, and also immerse yourself in the nature of the Miribel Park marshes to discover its fauna and flora.

Stroll through the Tony Garnier open-air museum. The beautiful buildings of the Cité des États-Unis serve as a backdrop for the architect's plans for his ideal city of Lyon. Other street arts, colorful and symbolist, extrapolate this concept to other countries.

Stroll through the narrow streets of Seyssuel, then on the way back, pass by the old castle and continue through the vineyards. Half of this route is paved, but you will have some beautiful views of the Monts du Lyonnais, which makes this part seem shorter.

A hike that almost exclusively uses small roads without traffic, providing a route where the paths are not an option. We start in Vienne and experience its panoramic views of Notre-Dame de Pipet and the Vienne hills with beautiful views of the Rhône Valley and the Pilat massif at the bottom. The return journey takes you through the homes on the Vienne heights while maintaining good views of the Viennoise hills.

This is a short, easy loop that allows you to discover the panorama at the confluence of the Rhône and Ain rivers, the picturesque village of Anthon and its surroundings, including the banks of the Rhône and the beautiful town hall of Chavanoz.

The aim of the route is to stroll through a few streets in the city of Lyon, between the north of the Presqu'île (Place des Terreaux) and the plateau of the Colline de la Croix-Rousse, while enjoying beautiful views (on the Rhône and Saône sides) at times.

A beautiful hike alternating between woodland trails and majestic views of the Pilat Regional Nature Park and the Rhône Valley.
