シャランコン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Feeling a little thirsty? Luckily, the fountain bar is here to help.

Every year there is a "Fête des vautours", 2024 at the beginning of June. Various events are offered in Rémuzat and Villeperdrix.

A wonderful vantage point, a lovely little picturesque town. Then, a rewarding climb along a narrow, mostly single-lane road to the Col de la Pertie, with views of Saint-May, and vultures being fed on the plateau opposite in the distance. Vultures nest in the beautiful rocky gorge you cycle through; a pair of binoculars is a good idea. Caution cyclists: In some places, it's best to hop off your bike! There's usually not much traffic, but some drivers will speed through even at a shaky 20 cm distance! I hardly recommend driving on this narrow road.

It all began in 1442 when a foundation broke away from the southern flank of Pic de Luc. As it slid, it hit a limestone spur, divided, broke into enormous blocks and blocked the Drôme at two points... thus two lakes were formed: the Petit downstream and the Grand upstream. The “Grand Lac” is 5 km long and arouses envy because it is full of fish. In 1561 it thus became the property of the Carthusians of Durban, monks to whom meat was forbidden. It was only in 1804 that a huge block, the “dad”, was pierced to let the water flow at the location of the current Saut de la Drôme. This vast dry body of water now gives way to an agricultural plain (ruined Bouligons farm and its formerly cultivated terraces) and the Bouligons marsh, the last vestige of the disappeared lake. The need to avoid the Claps during the construction of the “Briançonnais” railway line at the beginning of the 20th century also gave the site a magnificent viaduct, 244 m long and 44 m high.

Typical village of Haut-Diois, former Roman capital of the region. There you will find water at the fountain, public toilets and above all a superb organic grocery store La Milpa, just opposite the bakery. It is the last village before Claps, and probably the last shops you will find before going to the other side of the Col de Cabre.

The Rock of Cairo is a cliff overlooking Rémuzat. Facing due east, the morning sun quickly warms the air. It is this phenomenon which allowed the reintroduction of vultures into this area. From the rock you can observe vultures including the Egyptian vulture, although it is becoming rarer. A place not to be missed in the region!

Villeperdrix is a small village in the Baronnies nestled at the bottom of the slopes of the imposing Angèle mountain, one of the highest peaks in the Baronnies. In the village you will find a farm inn and a shop selling regional products.

You can also find a 1000er in the area
