ヴィリューのおすすめツーリングルート

It's very busy in summer, especially on weekends.

Here, you enter a sensitive natural area for a 1-kilometer trail marked with four stations to discover the area's remarkable flora and fauna. A pleasant way to connect the two shores of Lake Paladru, between Paladru and Montferrat.

Simple

Perfect for lunch on the terrace overlooking the lake. Quality cuisine.

During Holy Week, Christians commemorate the Passion of Jesus Christ, beginning with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), the Last Supper (Maundy Thursday), and ending with the arrest, condemnation, and execution (Good Friday), which then culminates in the Easter Vigil with the celebration of the Resurrection, the climax of the church year. The biblical accounts of the New Testament that describe these events paint a very nuanced picture of the Apostle Peter (Saint-Pierre), to whom the church of Charavines is dedicated: on the one hand, he is a determined disciple of Jesus, but also not free from human weakness and fear. In the Garden of Gethsemane, he (like the other disciples) falls asleep when Jesus turns to God the Father after the Last Supper and asks the disciples to pray as well. And after Jesus' arrest, Peter denies three times that he even knows him. But he also weeps over his weakness and, upon encountering the risen Christ, affirms his love and loyalty to him. His real name is Simon, but Jesus gives him the name Peter (which means "rock") on which the church is to be built and gives him—according to the account of the Evangelist Matthew—the "keys to the kingdom of heaven."

The small rest area created here, with its very unusual design, invites passersby not to roll by carelessly: Behind the backrest of the bench rises a remarkable piece of craftsmanship: on one side, a flower stem bearing an unfolded blossom; and from the other, a bee flies towards it. An original idea, and rightly documented here several times with photos.

Here we encounter three stone cubes stacked on top of each other, each smaller than the one below it. The gray cubes each have a white field in the center of their sides, with a cross carved into it, painted blue and standing out against the gray/white background. This construction forms the basis for the present small sacred monument: above it rises a radiant gold figure of the Madonna. From this prominent position, the Virgin Mary – venerated in France almost always under the title "Notre-Dame" ("Our Lady") – gazes far into the country, and has done so for more than 120 years. @Rainer N. has already explained the date and reason for its construction in his short post.

Very beautiful natural lake of glacial origin in the Chartreuse. The tour of the lake is about 17 kilometers through forest and fields, and allows you to admire the landscape from all angles.
