Halfway between Grenoble and Valence, this medieval village is ranked among the most beautiful in France. The Saint-Antoine site is listed as a Historic Monument. Its imposing Gothic abbey is one of the most remarkable in the region. Every year in August the village organizes a medieval festival which brings together more than 200 artists and no less than 500 people in costume.

The former abbey church of Saint-Antoine was built in the 14th century on the site of a previous Romanesque church. With its dimensions of 61 meters long, 32 meters wide and a 22 meter high nave, it is on a par with the great Gothic cathedrals. In 1840, the church of the Abbey of Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye, the mother monastery of the Antoniter order, was included in the list of monuments (Base Mérimée) in France as a monument historique.
