The Advantages of the Route
Oingt, powdered with ochre and gold and its art workshops. The perfect alliance between plants and minerals, an external mirror of geological diversity.
Between Crêt de la Garde and Les Avenières: to the east of the chapel of Mont Joly de St-Laurent-d'Oingt the villages of Oingt and Bois d'Oingt, to the west the Monts du Lyonnais. At the top of the Oingt Tower, a 360° open horizon. The welcoming temperament of the winegrowers to accompany tastings of Beaujolais with golden stones. When and how to take advantage of it? Observe to admire the nuances of the landscape. In May, meadows are covered with orchids between La Guillardière and Crêt the Remont.Come to the great festivities of Oingt: the Festival of Barrel Organs at the beginning of September and Oingt in crèches throughout the month of December at Epiphany.S linger in the mild countryside of the bottom of the Vervuis Valley. Beware of the steep descent after the Sainte-Paule Le Cimetière intersection.
