A large part (3/4) of the hike is on shaded paths and very pleasant pedestrian/bicycle paths. Only the last part (1 good km) is on a narrow road without a sidewalk, less pleasant.

Built between 1883 and 1886, Fort du Paillet was part of the fortified belt of Lyon. This well-preserved site housed up to 400 soldiers and controlled the strategic routes to Paris. Decommissioned in 1899, it was an internment center during the Second World War. Today, a trail allows you to discover its 35 hexagonal markers and its rich military past. A place combining history and nature, perfect for a break on your trail or hike.

Nice place, here we enjoy the calm and the sounds of nature (birds singing, rustling leaves in the trees...)
