A hiking trail starts and ends at Bogy’s town hall square; other routes lead through orchards and fields or offer views over the Rhône Valley. Each hike has its own focus: a named start and end point, heritage along the way, or varied scenery. If you’re looking for a holiday rental for a trip that combines hiking, scenery and culture, these highlights can help you find the right fit in Bogy.
Hiking trails with different highlights
“The Streams” starts and ends at the town hall square. The route heads towards the ruins of La Bardinière and leads to a chapel in Verlieux. This combines a clearly named starting and finishing point with two cultural landmarks: the ruins lie along the route, and the path leads to a chapel in Verlieux. Parking, toilets and a water point are available locally for this hiking route. As these facilities may change, it is advisable to check their availability before setting out.
A preserved doorway along the way
The “Le château de Bayard” hiking route passes through orchards and fields on the plateau around Bogy and comes close to a preserved doorway of Château de Bayard. The doorway is made of Bogy limestone molasse and dates from the 12th and 16th centuries. The route therefore brings together an agricultural landscape and a specific historic architectural feature. If you’d like to notice a preserved example of architectural history as well as the surrounding scenery while hiking, this trail offers a fitting focus.
The Rhône Valley, shady sections and wine
The “Les Ruisseaux” route combines views over the Rhône Valley with numerous shady sections. Its landscape includes an open, agricultural plateau cut through by numerous tributaries of the Rhône, with wooded valleys along the streams. This hike therefore brings together wide views and shade, as well as the contrast between open areas and wooded valleys. This is a different focus from “Le château de Bayard”, whose description highlights orchards, fields and the nearby doorway of the château.
Wine is another specific interest to consider in Bogy. La Ferme des 7 lunes offers Saint-Joseph wines as well as single-varietal red and white wines. If wine is part of your travel plans, this selection complements the hiking themes with a distinct local highlight. The selection may change, so check which wines are currently available before your trip.
The routes’ highlights can be summed up briefly: “The Streams” has a specifically named start and end point, as well as links to La Bardinière and Verlieux. “Le château de Bayard” combines the plateau landscape with a preserved doorway, while “Les Ruisseaux” brings together views, shady sections and wooded valleys. You can choose based on whether you’re most interested in specific places, heritage along the way, or a combination of the Rhône Valley and varied scenery.
