Holiday apartment in Mions: Circular trail, culture and cinema

In Mions, the themes range from the Plaine de Mions and the walking trails to the Église Sainte-Madeleine, the Glacière, Ciné’Mions and the Jacques-Prévert Media Library. Outdoor activities, local history, cinema and events provide different focal points for planning the day.

A clearly defined route through the Plaine de Mions

The Plaine de Mions route is an easy 4-km circular trail taking 1 to 2 hours. The combination of distance and duration makes the trail easy to plan as a short, clearly defined part of the day. Its circular shape keeps the route self-contained. In Mions, the 1- to 2-hour duration of the Plaine de Mions circular trail can be treated as a fixed time block when the town’s cultural attractions are also on the agenda.

Walking trails and panoramic views

The walking trails in Mions are suitable for walking, running and mountain biking. They also offer panoramic views over Mions. The three forms of activity provide different focuses for spending time outdoors, while the view over Mions adds a distinct landscape aspect. This leaves a choice between walking, running and mountain biking for planning the day, complemented by views over the town.

Bus routes to Mions Centre

The hike through the Plaine de Mions can be reached via bus routes 62 and 87 to the Mions Centre stop. For the journey, these two routes and the Mions Centre stop are the specific reference points. The bus connection can therefore be incorporated into planning this trail.

Cultural history: church and Glacière

The Église Sainte-Madeleine de Mions is a 19th-century church influenced by the Neo-Gothic style. It was consecrated in 1884. The Glacière de Mions was used to preserve ice for wealthy landowners. Local history thus ranges from a church building with a clearly documented date to an earlier use for preserving ice.

Ciné’Mions with a monthly film programme

Ciné’Mions is a local cinema with 90 seats and digital projection. Several current films are shown there every month. From September to June, Ciné’Mions also offers a programme for young audiences and schools. Anyone planning a film evening in Mions can use Ciné’Mions, its 90-seat auditorium and its monthly film programme as points of reference. The period from September to June can be considered as a separate period when planning the year.

Events at the Jacques-Prévert Media Library

It also includes conferences, exhibitions, gatherings and workshops. In addition to these events, more than 30,000 documents are available at the Jacques-Prévert Media Library.
