Discover Civrieux

Walking trails, nature observation and cultural and historical landmarks give you different ways to plan a trip to Civrieux. Activities at Little Fish Land are another option. If you are considering a stay, you can first decide which of these themes matter to you and plan your daily itinerary around them.

Walking trails and navigation

Civrieux lists two walking trails within its municipal area; one of them is Le Grand Rieux. It starts and ends at Place du Village in Civrieux. This shared starting and return point is a practical reference for planning. The municipality provides a Visorando link and a GPX download for Le Grand Rieux. The other named trail, Entre Saône et plateau, passes through Bernoud in Civrieux. The two trails therefore have different local points of reference: for Le Grand Rieux, Place du Village and the start and end of the loop are key; for Entre Saône et plateau, it is the route through Bernoud. When comparing the trails, you can consider whether the starting and return point or Bernoud as a place along the way is more important to your plans.

Nature at Domaine de Vernange

Domaine de Vernange lies within the municipal areas of Saint-André-de-Corcy, Monthieux and Civrieux. In 2016, the Ain département designated the Domaine as an ENS (Sensitive Natural Area). An observation post allows walkers to watch the birds that inhabit these environments. Dombes Tourisme organizes guided visits to the Domaine throughout the year. Nature observation from the post and a guided visit are therefore two different options. If you plan to take a guided visit, check the specific dates in advance.

Historical local landmarks

The Poype de Bernoud is located in the Bois Seigneur in Civrieux. The Cimetière municipal de la Grange Cantain has a relevant historical connection: until the middle of the 19th century, the old section was in the centre of Civrieux, south of the Church of Saint Denis. These cultural and historical landmarks therefore range from a site in the Bois Seigneur to the former location of the cemetery section in the town centre. Different spatial and historical reference points are important for understanding them: for the Poype, the Bois Seigneur; for the old cemetery section, its location south of the church and the period up to the middle of the 19th century.

Activities at Little Fish Land

Little Fish Land in Civrieux offers an introduction to no-kill fishing for visitors aged three and over. This fishing activity requires a reservation. The venue also offers a mini-farm, treasure hunts and nature trails. Alongside an introduction to fishing, there are therefore other activities to choose from. If the fishing introduction is important to your trip, take both the minimum age and the reservation requirement into account. The mini-farm, treasure hunts and nature trails offer other options.

Planning tips

A guided visit to Domaine de Vernange and the fishing activity at Little Fish Land are two separate planning considerations. Check the specific dates if you plan to take a guided visit, and make a reservation for fishing. This lets you account for these requirements as you choose activities for your stay.
