    Magnificent viewpoint over the monastery from above which allows you to see it in its entirety

      In fact this place is the 2nd "viewpoint" (wooden barriers) which dominates the monastery and its "valley". GPS 45.3675 5.8008333 (it is noted on the IGN 25 maps). We can also see, just opposite, the habère de Billon which is the largest sheepfold in Chartreuse, which can accommodate up to 100 cows and all the hay they need...
      There is also a similar viewpoint on the same path but a little before when you go up.
