Le Perréon offers a variety of experiences for a stay: a circular trail with long-distance views, wine and olive-related activities, and a historic church building. This brings together outdoor activity, insights into agriculture and cultural heritage. The details vary: the hike has a stated distance and viewpoint, while Domaine Croso Bonnier offers tours and tastings, and the church has dated construction and foundation histories.
The blue Cadoles Circular Trail
The blue Cadoles Circular Trail is 5.5 km long. Its main attraction is the La Madone site at an altitude of 476 m, where an information board is located. The trail offers panoramic views as far as Mont Blanc. The distance, altitude and long-distance views provide three different points of reference for planning a hike: the length of the loop, its named attraction and the view.
Landscape and nature
The Landes du Beaujolais offer another perspective on nature. Their natural and sensitive areas are managed and enhanced by the Conservatoire Rhône-Alpes des Espaces Naturels (CREN). This brings together two distinct aspects: the long-distance views offered by the Cadoles Circular Trail and the management and enhancement of sensitive areas. Here, nature is both a scenic view and the focus of practical conservation work.
Winegrowing and guided tours
The Château de Loges winery was founded in 1958 by a handful of winegrowers. It is located in the commune of Le Perréon, on steep slopes with granite soil. The estate therefore provides both a historical reference and a specific description of the setting for understanding winegrowing.
At Domaine Croso Bonnier, the focus is on tours and tastings. Tours are offered of the estate, cellar, vineyards and olive groves. The guided tours cover vineyard work, winemaking and olive growing; wine tastings are also available at the estate. The experience extends beyond wine to include olive growing. Compared with the founding history of Château de Loges, the focus here is more on the topics and places associated with winegrowing.
A dated building
The Église Saint-Pierre was built between 1866 and 1868. This construction period provides a distinct historical point of interest alongside the 1958 founding of the Château de Loges winery. Le Perréon can therefore be explored not only through winegrowing but also through a 19th-century church building.
Which focus suits your stay?
The activities differ mainly in their format: the Cadoles Circular Trail combines a set distance with panoramic views, while Domaine Croso Bonnier offers guided tours focused on wine and olives, as well as tastings. The Église Saint-Pierre adds a historical dimension to these themes. If you want to make outdoor activity the focus, you can prioritize the circular trail; if you are interested in wine and olive growing, the tours at Domaine Croso Bonnier offer a different focus.
