From the Perrigny apartments (101 rue du Mont Neuf), the greenway is directly accessible from the car park. This is one of the major advantages of Lons Séjours for cyclists: you arrive, you drop your bikes, and you set off. Nature starts at your door — no bike transport, no organisation. It's also the ideal base for forays into Jura villages, vineyards and lakes.

Jura village circuits
Perrigny, Montmorot, Conliège, Orgelet — Jura wine and rural villages follow quiet roads. Check with the Tourist Office for waymarked circuits.
