Trail Reviews
Nice path in the heart of Beaujolais. Beautiful landscape and charming village in golden stones.
Departure from the Jean Bidon stadium in Chessy for a beautiful loop in the Pays des Pierres Dorées. Highlight of the hike: the Glay quarries, a geological jewel of the Beaujolais UNESCO Global Geopark, where the ochre stratifications tell the thousand-year-old history of our terroir. A route that combines heritage and nature, just 30 minutes from Lyon.
