A large part of the path is dedicated to soft mobility; several relaxation areas equipped with tables, benches, and children's games line it.

The Courlan viaduct spans the Vallière river. 338 meters long and 16 meters high, it has 16 arches. A beautiful structure to see along the Voie Bressane greenway.

I stayed here overnight from November 23rd to the 24th, 2025. The toilet is a few meters away. In summer there is also a fountain with drinking water.

The church's origins date back to 878, when King Louis the Stammerer granted the priory of Louhans to the Abbey of Saint-Philibert de Tournus. The current structure was built after a devastating fire in 1370 that destroyed the town and the church. Reconstruction began in 1492 in the Gothic style, with the church being built of red brick with stone buttresses. In the 18th century, the Notre-Dame Chapel was added, creating the present appearance of two adjoining buildings.

The Bresse route is laid out on a former railway line. It runs through the Bresse region of Burgundy. The path is dotted with hedgerows, rivers, ponds and farms raising the famous Bresse chickens.
