Seyssuel walks
A loop through the vineyards of Seyssuel
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.
Stream crossings near Loire-sur-Rhône

In the Bois de Saint-Jean in Communay
A beautiful, quick walk in the heart of the Bois de Saint-Jean in Communay. There are quite a few steep sections in two or three places. Despite the proximity of the A46 motorway, you will feel far away from civilisation during this walk.
Around the Communay mines
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:

2°) around the Espérance shaft headframe (rebuilt by associations linked to the mine) and a small slag heap, now wooded.
The heights of Vienne by small roads for wet days
A hike that almost exclusively uses small roads without traffic, providing a route where the paths are not an option.

The return journey takes you through the homes on the Vienne heights while maintaining good views of the Viennoise hills.

A family walk with a slight incline, best done with flat, closed-toe shoes (forest trails).

:1: Please note: hike currently being modified.
The passage on the (private) path from (1) seems to be causing problems.
In the meantime: at the fork, 400 m before this waypoint (1), turn right (Chemin des Frères) then left onto the D167 and further on you will find the waypoint (2).
The Villette-de-Vienne pond and the Combe des Brigands starting from Luzinay
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 walk mainly on paths, along the Fausse, Charoin, Les Endiennes and Noyon valleys between Marennes and Villette-de-Vienne.
