Mountain Bike Route: Anglay Loop

This trail takes you through much of the lower part of the town of Mieussy: the Saint-Grat Chapel, the forest, hamlets, the Giffre River, and meadows…

Starting from the Salle des Fêtes, take the Viaduc to the departmental road.
1/ Cross the road, then take the small road directly across from it.
2/ At the end of the straight stretch, take the path going uphill on the left, which will lead you to Anthon.
3/ Follow a short stretch of road, then take the path on the right uphill.
4/ Head back down to the village of Vivier. Turn left and head back up to the hamlet of Messy.
5/ Pass through the village and take the first small road on the right.
6/ At the end, turn right to join the D308 and the paved road to Anglay. Leave it at Ranchy, heading toward La Touvière and then Anglay.
7/ Follow the 4x4 trail through Le Chable to Le Jourdy.
8/ Ride through the village and turn right onto a steep trail.
9/ After a beautiful, technical descent, turn left at Guillard.
10/ Ride uphill to the Chapelle Saint Grat.
11/ Join the road and descend to the second bridge.
12/ Turn right for a technical descent.
13/ Pass through La Colonie and rejoin the road until you reach the Briffes intersection. Just below it, turn left.
14/ Pass the houses on the left and turn right at the entrance to the forest, at Les Sachets. Be careful when you reach the D907; take it to the left for 300 meters.
15/ Turn right before the cross to reach Boche d’en Bas. Continue to Maillet. Turn right. Then veer slightly to your right to reach the banks of the Giffre. Be careful—the path is narrow.
16/ Leave the Giffre by heading up toward Créan and continue along the road to reach the Dessy Bridge.
17/ Return to the Salle des Fêtes via the Viaduct.
