Along the backroads

Description

Cycles trails by the dozen, under the open skies, near the water, through the woods … but also with as their milestones the numerous crosses that dot the area. Croix de Grand champ, Croix de Laurisse, Croix de Mission... in short, a chain of structures forming targets to aim for. On the way, you will also come across Saint-Christo-en-Jarez, Fontanès, Marcenod and Valfleury. Villages that all offer a welcome worthy of the name, with panoramic views, wooded parks and well-merited little restaurants thrown in. Go on, we'll share a tip, a hiking trail we've really fallen in love with! In Saint-Christo-en-Jarez, you'll find the "Pomme Melrose" trail (nothing to do with the famous TV series, TV Melrose Place, s far as we know!). We will warn you though, once you set off on the 3 ½ hour hike just above the orchards on the Jarez hills, there'll be nobody to do it for you. But it's well worth the effort, for the views and your health!
