A pretty circuit on Valencogne's plains and its heights which will allow you to have a sight on Vivier's pond and Paladru's town.
Starting point at Valencogne's town. Parking below the church. Go up towards the church to le chemin du lavoir.
From Valencogne to Gréhaut, this tour follows the GR 65, also called « chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle (Way of Santiago de Compostela)», followed by several thousand pilgrims. This journey will lead you then in front of Vivier’s pond, then on the heights of Paladru before returning again via the Way of Santiago.
Follow the yellow marked path and the crossroads:
VALENCOGNE > Chemin du Lavoir > Le Gréhaut > Bois Reyer > Ferme du Mont > Montfrelet > les Allimards > Jalinières > le Brocard > Chemin du Lavoir > VALENCOGNE
An optional 1.4km round trip takes you to the statue of Notre-Dame des Vignes and its lovely panorama of the Bugey peaks.
