Beautiful view of the Lamartine Valley

Bring a light jacket; it can get cold inside. For those with vision problems, don't be afraid; the lighting isn't too bright.

The trees do stop at the top to give a view

Very well marked route

The summit of Mont Pouilly!

Each of these crosses, which the hiker often encounters in the fields or, as here, on the mountains, is a sign of remembrance of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Here on earth there is His memory, but in the kingdom of heaven there is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, travelling towards our homeland." (Bernard of Clairvaux)

The Tunnel du Bois Clair is a former railway tunnel and at 1.6 km the longest tunnel in France now open to a greenway. It takes 4 to 6 minutes to cross by bike, 6 to 10 minutes on rollerblades and 15 to 20 minutes on foot, horse riders are not allowed to pass. The temperature is around 11 °C. There is a lighting system, but it is best to bring extra lighting on your bike... As this tunnel is home to protected species of bats, it is closed during hibernation (from October to April). In this case, a route is offered to bypass the tunnel, taking the circular trail n°14 (4 km, level: expert). A picnic area is located above the tunnel if you are coming via Cluny.

Magnificent view after a nice, not very technical descent
