Description

Ideal for mountain biking enthusiasts, this route takes you around Aveizieux while offering stunning panoramic views. Be aware that it requires good mountain bike handling skills.

After leaving the centre of Aveizieux via a long climb along the road, the route follows an enjoyable stretch of fairly technical trails down to the Volvon stream, which you cross. From there, a gentle climb leads to the beautiful Meycillieux Wood. A series of short climbs and descents then takes you back to the village, adding to the route’s charm.

Notre Dame de Bon Secours

Located in the same place as an old cross called Croix des Rameaux, the statue was ordered by a priest in the neighbouring village who wanted to spread the cult of the Virgin Mary.His name was Abbot Ferrière de Saint Galmier. Some of the locals financed (in donations) the granite pedestal and other parts of the statue.

Village d'Aveizieux

Etymology : Avayseu (1222) from the man's name Abacius + suffi x - acum.Evidence of the village's existence dates from the start of the 13th century : the Franks cartulary makes reference to it in 1222. According to some, Aveizieux was the homeland of Baldomer (Saint-Galmier) and the residents of Aveizieux have installed the statue of Saint-Galmier, along with that of Saint-Léger, the parish's patron saint after Saint-André, at the entrance to the church, on each side of the portal. The history of the commune is closely linked to that of soft furnishings. Residences belonging to soft furnishings' manufacturers line the D11 main road and, today, they form part of the commune's architectural heritage.
