Starting from Belley, following the ViaRhôna to Rochefort.
Discovery of the Maison du marais (House of the swamp) in the village of Aignoz, crossed by the wine-making village of Vongnes, you can have a break by the lake of Chavoley. Way back through Pugieu and then Billignin.

Interesting points along the route: Wine museum and wine tasting cellar in Vongnes, the nature reserve of the Lavours swamp, castle of Grammont (can't be visited), and the Bugey rail bikes.

Follow the black sings number 8.
