Between rivers and high plateaus
The vigorous and characteristic hilly region round the river Doux gorges can be seen from many viewing points. The low Doux Valley and its main tributaries ; the Duzon and the Daronne rivers cut through the high plateau. The latter, with its remarkable regularity stretching from the west of Lyon to the south of the Doux valley is qualified as being the Rhodanien plains. Its altitude varies from 350 to 400m. Its widest section is in the Doux gorges (about 15km) stretching between the river Rhône and the Vivarais hillsides.

The path zigzags through undergrowth down to the stream. Go up the stream between trees and rocks before crossing over and going up the other side to the hamlet Bois du Verne.
