GR®76
From Chagny (Saone-et-Loire) to Affoux (Rhone)
|
|
The GR76 long-distance hiking trail crosses the Rhône department from north to south, between the wooded peaks of the Beaujolais mountains and the rolling hills of the "golden stone" region. The trail's history is closely linked to farming: it follows ancient rural routes and vineyard paths that have shaped these hillsides since Gallo-Roman times. The built heritage is remarkable, characterized by the use of limestone tinted with iron oxides, which gives villages like Oingt and Ternand their unique, sun-drenched glow. As for nature, the hike alternates between Douglas fir forests on the ridges, a refuge for deer and birds of prey such as the rough-legged buzzard, and vineyards where Gamay grapes thrive in granite soils.
