The circuit then goes around Vongnes, an atypical village with several vaults including the Caveau Bugiste, a real local institution. Le Caveau bugiste includes a museum of wine-growing traditions and a museum of tools for the stone trades, an exhibition hall and offers tours and tastings of its cellar every day of the year.
The return is then made by the beautiful village of Ceyzérieu, under the castle of Grammont (cannot be visited) and the lake of Chavoley before returning by Marignieu and St Champ, then to find the ViaRhôna a little further.
If the circuit includes a low drop and remains very accessible, the course is a little hilly.
