Doorway to the Alpes

In a triangle between Bourgoin-Jallieu, Vienne and Lyon, this ride takes you through gently hilly countryside with the first peaks of the Alpes in the background.

Start from Meyrieu-les-Étangs. Head for the "Base de Loisirs" then take direction Saint-Anne-sur-Gervonde.
Carry on via La Molière and Tramolet, then La Combe to reach the D1085.
Turn left to return to your starting point via Rivoire and Culin.

The route is lined with crops, groves and ponds. Pass through hamlets and villages with adobe construction, a traditional local material that imbues the landscape with golden reflections.

Tips

Bourgoin brioche: this 5-century-old delicacy was created in 1449 when future King Louis XI stayed in the city. To honour the dauphin, the bakers prepared a crown-shaped cake made with flour, milk, honey, eggs and leaven. Later, in the 19th century a Bourgoin baker decided to decorate his brioche with granules of red and white sugar, praline and sugared almonds. Now one of the symbols of Bourgoin-Jallieu, it is available in all the bakeries in the area.
