Le tour du Beaujolais des Pierres Dorรฉes – UNESCO Geopark World Heritage Site

The Beaujolais tour of Pierres Dorรฉes walking guide in frenchThis GR ยฎde Pays crosses the Beaujolais Geopark (UNESCO Global Geopark since 2018), which is characterized by the presence of limestone rocks that were used for the construction of the villages of Beaujolais, Lyonnais as well as in Switzerland.This soil gave this yellow ocher stone which, in the sun, takes on a whole range of warm colors and makes the beauty of houses, castles, churches, washhouses and low walls. To this architectural unity responds the diversity between the eastern and southern parts, planted with vines and the northern and western parts with their wilder and rougher lands, covered with forest.12 circuits have been marked out in the heart of this region and this Geopark to allow discovery of the different “Geosites” present in the “Geopark” and to learn about the geology of this region.Country GR ยฎ (6 days), 12 PR (circuits)96 pagesEdition 03/2020 (1st)Burgundy
