When you’ve decided to go for a walk in the Jura on a rainy, cold and grey Sunday in late August, and it looks like this up at Col de La Faucille

and you realize yours is the only car in the parking lot, there’s only one thing to do: drive back down and decide to revisit parts of a walk in the lowland that you’ve blogged about earlier from Segny to Chevry. The new itinerary can be found and downloaded at the bottom of this post.

Time: just over 1 hour              Km: 5                      Hight to climb: 61 meters

With today’s view of the Jura and the Alps I should have known better than to drive all the way up there…

Actually, it is very refreshing to be out in the rain and it always makes coming back home so much more of a pleasure.

I stopped in Segny and walked towards Veraz. This time I decided to walk along the Grand Journans river.

When you reach to the bridge, take left instead of continuing directly to Chevry.

Walking along the stream is so calm and peaceful. With newly built houses on both sides I was amazed to realize I was the only one out and about.

When I came to this little bridge…

…I crossed over and walked through the little hamlet of houses with beautiful gardens in Veraz.

After a few meters on Rue des Moraines I turned right, and before I knew it I was on the Sentier des Vignerons. I did not see any signs of grapes or wine but if you are a tall person there are plenty of blackberries to pick if you do this walk at the right time of the year.

When you see a narrow path to your left that goes up across the field, choose this as it will take you up to the bigger path called Sentier des Boraz. Follow this path back to your staring point.
