At the foot of the Mont du Chat, St Paul offers 4 circular walks including one gentler alternative. The Boucle du Château de Choisel offers an impressive view over the Château de Choisel’s tower.

Village houses cluster around the church to form the charming village of Saint-Paul-sur-Yenne, nestled at the foot of the mountain.

In this peaceful setting, you follow a wide farm track through the fields, accompanied by the scent of flowering grass.

But what's that strange animal standing by the river?

It would seem that the old farming tools have come back to life here, and are wandering along the paths. Their work in the fields is over and, as if transformed by a magic wand into fantastic beings, they wander quietly along the paths.

Look: there's two more of them cooling their paws in the stream!

Keep on walking - more surprises await you. And don't forget to take in the lovely views over the rolling countryside and the surrounding massifs, which watch over this gentle countryside from all their height.
