The circuit ends above Culoz, following the Rhone by the meadows of the Retord plateau.The crossed territories, which offer many areas of shelter and a wide range of wild species: peregrine falcon, grouse of the woods, capercaillie, lynx boreal. In towns and villages, traditions have remained alive. Gastronomy gives pride of place to cheese and Jura wines.ABOUT THE FFRP (Fรฉdรฉration franรงaise de la randonnรฉe pรฉdestre) TOPOGUIDES: published in a handy A5 paperback format, the guides are the best companions for hiking along the GR routes, France’™s extensive network of long-distance footpaths. Each topo-guide covers either a whole route or a part of a longer path (e.g. four titles for the GR 10 along the Pyrenees). The guides have COLOUR extracts from IGN`s 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 topographic survey mapping overprinted with the route, with important points cross-referenced to the accompanying text placed on the adjoining page. The text is in French, but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols (different types of accommodation, food shops, public transport links, etc). An important feature of each guide is a summary table showing what facilities can be found at each stage of the route, supported by an extensive ‘œinfo practiques” section with more specific information and contact details for recommended accommodation, tourist offices, etc. The guides are published on high quality paper and include descriptions of the most interesting aspects of the surrounding region: historical and cultural sites, local specialties, fauna and flora, etc, all illustrated with colour photos.To see other titles published by the FFRP for long-distance hiking routes please click on the series link.
