Sarcey (Rhône) walks

Depart from Sarcey opposite the church, taking the Voie du Tacot to Ponts Tarrets, then head towards Le Breuil to return to Sarcey. A very pleasant and easy walk.

Departure from the Agamy Cooperative Winery for a walk along the trails of five communes: Bully, Sarcey, Le Breuil, Chessy and Saint-Germain-sur-Arbresle. We are in the Pierres Dorées region of Beaujolais, with its hamlets such as Apinost and its wash house, the village with its school, castle, town hall and church. Continue to the hamlet of Montagny, the Crêt de Montgiron with its vineyards and, finally, the magnificent hamlet of Glay with its beautiful golden stones from the nearby quarries (which can be visited).

A short, gentle walk along the valley floor in the heart of the Beaujolais des Pierres Dorées, with several views of the Monts du Lyonnais and the Monts Popey and Arjoux.

A walk starting from the typical golden stone village of Bully, offering superb views of the Monts du Lyonnais and the Monts d'Or.

Visit the old golden stone quarry in Glay and immerse yourself in the vineyards.

A beautiful walk in the Monts du Lyonnais, from Saint-Romain-de-Popey to Saint-Forgeux. Beautiful views of the Turdine and Azergues valleys.

A lovely route through fields, cherry orchards and forests, offering beautiful views of Saint-Romain-de-Popey, the village of Bully and its vineyards, Pontcharra-sur-Turdine and, in the distance, Mont Verdun in the Monts d'Or massif.

A short walk from Saint-Romain around Mont Popey, passing through the centre of Ancy. Option to continue to the Popey ridge From the heights of Popey, you can see the Crêt d'Arjoux. This circular takes you along many paths and very few roads.

Starting from the village of Bois-d'Oingt, this loop allows you to visit the villages of Oingt, Theizé and Moiré, passing through Woods and vineyards in a beautiful landscape.

This circuit is a microcosm of everything that makes the Pierres Dorées region of the Beaujolais so rich and charming: some of the most beautiful villages (Bagnols, Moiré), churches and chapels, crosses and castles, wash houses and splendid panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, vineyards and forests.

Starting from Bagnol, you’ll traverse the slopes to enjoy a succession of breathtaking views of the varied landscapes of the Pierres Dorées region. This hike is ideal for those seeking nature and a sense of wonder through relaxing panoramic views. The difficulty is rated as moderate to slightly difficult, given the numerous ascents and descents. The waypoints are relatively far apart: please read the entire paragraph carefully before continuing. Please note that the names of the waypoints are not included in the description.

Route starting from Bagnols towards Oingt, then Theizé for a return to Bagnols.

The region has prehistoric and ancient remains, particularly from the Gallo-Roman period. Two temples are said to have existed, one on the Arjoux mountain and the other, dedicated to Jupiter, near the Mas Saint-Jean. Silver mines were worked nearby in the 15th century.

A circular route starting from Ancy, marked with crosses, rolling hills and views of the Beaujolais and Lyonnais mountains, alternating between balcony paths and shaded forest trails. Some tarmac sections, visit to a cheese producer. Picnic area available in a peaceful spot. Option to climb to the summit of Mont Popey at the end of the route.

Beautiful 360° view at Mont Popey on the northern edge of the Monts du Lyonnais with, as a bonus in good weather, a breathtaking view to the east of the Monts d'Or, the Alps and Mont Blanc. Interesting ridge trail in the forest or open countryside, well marked with beautiful views. A paragliding launch site where, in good weather, you can enjoy the spectacular views! The climb up Mont Popey and the descent to Mas Saint-Jean are a little steep, but take your time!
