Les Sires de Bâgé – “L’Ain à vélo” Recreational Cycling Loop No. 4
A bike ride through the Bresse countryside, following in the footsteps of the Lords of Bâgé, to explore the imposing Romanesque church of Saint-André de Bâgé, the village of Bâgé-le-Châtel, the Château de Montépin, and the Chapel of Aigrefeuille. Family-friendly.
The Lords of Bâgé, who ruled for nearly three centuries, left their mark on the region: the Romanesque church of Saint André-de-Bâgé, the castle of Bâgé-le-Châtel, the ramparts, the towers, and the circular layout of the village of Bâgé-le-Châtel, which you can explore in the second part of this loop.
If you’d like to visit the church, feel free to stop by the Tourist Information Office in Bâgé-le-Châtel to borrow the key!
The route takes you along small roads that wind past various farms and market gardens.
The village of Bâgé-la-Ville also features a few landmarks, such as the Château de la Griffonnière and the old train station building.
In both Bâgé-le-Châtel and Bâgé-la-Ville, you’ll find shops and several restaurants.
