Vauxrenard: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Trails

The Chemin de Vigne in Vauxrenard is a 2.8-kilometre trail created by local winegrowers. Ten information panels explain the work of a Beaujolais winegrower. The trail can be explored independently or accompanied by residents of the village.

The signposted Sentier Victor is a 100-kilometre hiking trail through Beaujolais that passes through Vauxrenard and eleven other villages. Three variants make it possible to shorten the entire route and create loops of different lengths. The Circuit Par Monts et par Vauxrenard circular route starts in the town centre near the church.

Those planning Vauxrenard as a travel destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
