This moderately long route is ideal for families and beginners, as it follows flat terrain throughout. However, take extra care: the route crosses the RD1082 twice, a dangerous road with heavy, fast-moving traffic.
The route leaves the village of Épercieux-Saint-Paul and heads to the banks of the River Loire, where there is a picnic area. On the way back, enjoy open views of the Monts du Lyonnais before following the railway line to the starting point.
