Civrieux offers various reasons to stay: a walking route starting and ending at Place du Village, nature observation at the Domaine de Vernange, and activities at Little Fish Land. There are also named traces of the area’s history. When looking for accommodation, you might first consider whether walking routes, nature, activities or history should be the main focus of your trip.
Walking routes with different landmarks
The municipality lists two walking routes in its area. Le Grand Rieux starts and ends at Place du Village in Civrieux. This shared starting and return point is a practical reference when fitting a walk into your stay. The municipality provides a Visorando link and a GPX download for the route. If you plan using digital route data, you can use either of these options.
The Entre SaĂ´ne et plateau walking route passes through Bernoud in Civrieux. The route descriptions therefore highlight different landmarks: the start and finish are specified for Le Grand Rieux, while Bernoud is named as the place that Entre SaĂ´ne et plateau passes through. Depending on which of these details matters for choosing your route, you can compare the two walks using the specific information provided.
Nature observation at the Domaine de Vernange
The Domaine de Vernange lies within the municipal areas of Saint-André-de-Corcy, Monthieux and Civrieux. In 2016, it was designated an ENS by the Département de l’Ain. The Domaine has an observatory from which walkers can observe the birds that inhabit these environments. Dombes Tourisme also organizes guided visits there throughout the year.
Observations from the observatory and guided visits are two different ways to discover the Domaine. If you plan to join a guided visit, check the dates with Dombes Tourisme. This lets you take the season of your trip and the visit on offer into account without treating the two ways of exploring nature as the same thing.
Activities at Little Fish Land
Little Fish Land in Civrieux offers visitors aged three and up an introduction to fishing on a no-kill basis. This fishing activity requires a reservation; check the current reservation arrangements before making plans. The minimum age applies to the fishing introduction and is a specific age requirement for this activity.
Alongside fishing, the activities include a mini-farm, treasure hunts and nature trails. Little Fish Land therefore offers various activities that you can consider separately when planning your stay. The reservation requirement applies specifically to fishing. If you are planning a visit with children, keep the minimum age of three in mind for this introduction and check reservation requirements before including it in your plans.
Named places and historical location
The Poype de Bernoud is located in Bois Seigneur in Civrieux. Another specific reference to a place is the old section of the Cimetière municipal de la Grange Cantain: until the mid-19th century, it was in the village center, south of Saint Denis Church. This historical location places the cemetery section in its historical and geographical context. The two details identify different landmarks in Civrieux, one in Bois Seigneur and one formerly in the village center.
