Vivier’s pond

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 and finally, you will go down in the bourbre ‘s valley which one dominates permanently, since Saint-Ondras or Chassignieu.

Follow the yellow marked path and the crossroads:
-Valencogne
-Chemin du Lavoir
-Le Gréhaut
-Bois Reyer
-Ferme du Mont
-Montfrelet
-les Allimards
-Jalinières
-les Fosges
-les Sources
-Croix du Jubilé
-le Brocard
-Chemin du Lavoir
-Valencogne

From the way of Santiago de Compostela, note the numerous connections with circuits of Le Pays Voironnais so you can walk on the mountain side that overlooks the lake.
