The GR® de Pays Tour du Revermont offers seven days of hiking on the limestone hills of the Revermont, the foothills of the Jura Massif. It can be shortened thanks to a number of itineraries.

St-Denis-en Bugey, Ambutrix, Vaux-en-Bugey and Vaux-Fevroux: four traditional villages nestled between vineyards and streams, in the heart of a confidential valley where natural gas has been exploited since the 1920s. A walk that combines nature and heritage. Leaving from St-Denis-en-Bugey town hall. Pass in front of an old mill, then head for the Tour de Saint-Denis: a medieval tower offering an attractive viewpoint with an orientation table. Also the starting point for numerous hikes and fitness trails. Pass through Ambutrix, a picturesque hillside village, before arriving in Vaux-en-Bugey. A town with a long history of winegrowing, Vaux-en-Bugey is still dotted with working vineyards. The vineyards offer a beautiful view of the original church tower. From the cemetery chapel, another panorama awaits the viewer. (NB: Pérouges Bugey Tourisme offers a free audio quest on the IziTravel application - download. A fun way to learn more about Vaux, its wine and the surrounding area). Vaux-Fevroux or "val fiévreux" owes its name to its remote position in the valley and the fevers that once decimated the village. Continue for 2km through the woods to the remains of a natural gas well in a meadow. Natural gas has been present in the valley since 1906, and its exploitation was a world first from 1919 onwards. In 1925, Saint Gobain built a factory in Lagnieu to take advantage of this energy. The plant still exists today, producing glass for the whole world. Further along the path, you can access the Buizin vats and waterfalls.

1000 years of history are waiting for you to visit ! The abbey can be visited freely throughout the year and is open daily. There are guided tours available in French and English. Take a dive in History ! Ambronay Abbey was founded in the early 9th century by St Bernard de Romans and was home to a community of Benedictine monks until the French Revolution. The abbey is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with some of its buildings dating between the 11th and 15th centuries. Today the abbey is a centre for early classical and religious music and is well known for its annual baroque music festival which takes place during September and October. During the early Middle Ages, Ambronay Abbey was self-governing, answering only to Rome. From 1282 onwards, it fell under the protection of the Dukes of Savoy. The abbey became involved in the border disputes between the Dukes and the King of France. This resulted in the abbey being heavily fortified. Today one can discover the Dauphine Tower, the Archives Tower, Saint Jacques and Saint Catherine’s Chapel and the cloister which houses a magnificent renaissance staircase. One can also see the chapter room and the sacristy which were central to monastic life. The abbey is home to the Ambronay Cultural Centre which promotes religious and baroque music, with several concerts taking place throughout the year.

These installations are there to awaken buried memories through the work achieved by the museum’s archivists and volunteers.

The occupation of this superb site dates back to the 7th century (funerary chapel). During the time of the Delphino-Savoyard wars (1272-1355). The chateau was among the most important “chatelleries” (lordships) and was behind the commissioning of the chateaux of Saint-Denis and Allymes. These three sites thus formed a line of defence expected to prevent the Savoyards’ expansion to Bresse. For a number of years, the committee to safeguard old St.Germain (Comité de Sauvegarde du Vieux St-Germain), formed in 1996 under the impetus of Armand Decour, has been ensuring the upkeep of the site backed by the support of the town. What remains today of the Medieval chateau are sections of the surrounding wall (including two “false towers”), the wall that separates the upper court from the lower bailey, and a very lovely ogival door.

Built on the municipality of Saint-Jean-le-Vieux, in the hamlet of Varey, do not hesitate to discover the Castle of Varey, which bases are medieval. The Château de Varey is located a short distance from the village of Saint-Jean-le-Vieux. There has been a fortification on this site since the 12th century. The magnificent building which can be seen there today dates from the 19th century when the château was completely rebuilt.

Perched high up in the hills overlooking Ambérieu-en-Bugey the Château des Allymes has stood guard over the town since the 14th century. The château was built by the Dauphin of Vienne in 1310. It fell into the hands of the Duke of Savoy in 1335 and became part of France again in 1601. The Chateau des Allymes (Allymes Castle) has preserved intact many features of medieval military architecture that defended the territory during the Middle Ages. The Chateau des Allymes is made up of two sections. There is an upper courtyard which is formed by four curtain walls linking the keep (donjon) to the round or watch tower. Secondly there is the outer bailey with the remains of a large fortifying wall and a small watch tower. In 1960 the Château des Allymes was listed as a Historic Monument and was saved from total ruin. It has been open to the public since 1966. The château is managed by the Association des Amis du Château des Allymes (Friends of the Château des Allymes) and today it houses exhibitions, concerts and conferences. Since 1984 the château has officially been the property of the town of Ambérieu-en-Bugey. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the listing of the château, an exhibition room was opened in 2010. It is named in honour of René de Lucinge (1553-1624), Lord of Allymes, who was instrumental in the integration of Ain into France in 1601 with the Treaty of Lyon.
