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.

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.

A forest where you feel at peace. According to legend, the Vallin forest in the commune of Saint-Victor-de-Cessieu was frequented by druids and Templars who came to enjoy its healing properties.

Part of the forest has been replanted with Douglas firs, cherry trees and red oaks.
