Forest party

This part in the forest is superb. It is not very technical and is done very well on a gravel bike.

This path in the Mantaille forest is very bucolic. The forest once belonged to the lords of Mantaille who came to hunt there. Take advantage of this beautiful natural setting and perhaps you will have the chance to come across a deer.

The Ideal Palace of Postman Cheval

Highlight • Monument

This place is the story of a postman, Joseph Ferdinand Cheval, who in 1873 and for the following 33 years, built a dream palace in his vegetable garden. He picked up stones during his rounds with his wheelbarrow. Alone, he imagines an ideal palace, where you will find elephants, caimans, pelicans, bears, birds and many other curiosities. This unique place in the world has inspired many artists. Classified in 1969 as a Historic Monument, you can visit this place all year round.

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.

Small fishing pond in the heart of the municipal forest of Montrigaud offers a very bucolic setting. This place is ideal for taking a short break. A shaded picnic area is located right next to the pond. You will find, along the pond, information panels on the surrounding flora and fauna.
