A rather uninteresting and very muddy walk. We didn’t turn back, but completed the circular route by heading back via Dommartin, passing through the village, and returning to the starting point.

More of a ‘granny’s walk’, or a place to let the dog run about! Why not suggest a (possible) circular route via Dommartin? On the other hand, if you just want to stretch your legs (which was my case) in the middle of a road trip, then this return walk will do… albeit cut short, as the path was too muddy at the end!

⚑Departure from Civrieux-d'Azergues (Rhône)
I chose the golden stone village centre of Civrieux d'Azergues as the starting and finishing point, which is often overlooked... A pleasant, relatively shaded walk with no apparent difficulties, suitable for bicycles, children and our four-legged friends. However,be careful on the road section (200 m) and the Azergues, which is still a river.
