Walks and nature: Adventure for little ones!

Take a deep breath of fresh air and explore the magnificent landscapes of Royans. Here, walks become true adventures, between hilltop ruins and enchanted gardens.

Walk to Rochechinard Castle – between history and panorama

Here, we climb up to an old hilltop castle, discover an incredible view of the mountains... and travel back in time! More than 500 years ago, a real prince from the Orient was said to have hidden there during the winter. His name was Djem, he came from very far away, and he even fell in love with a beautiful Dauphinoise living nearby. A story worthy of the Arabian Nights, with knights, secrets, and a princess. Enough to turn the walk into an adventure! Don't hesitate to make a detour to the Maison-Musée du Royans to discover the objects that your great, or even great-great grandparents used! A short walk that turns into a leap into the past.

Grand Echaillon Adventure Course – Leap into the forest!

No need for a harness, here children jump, climb, bounce and laugh in this adventure park suspended in the middle of the forest. At Grand Echaillon, this 4-season course offers children from 3 years old two fun courses 1 meter above the ground, two gigantic seas of nets, a pirate ship with a lookout, slides, and even a cabin: the famous "Perched Drop". A great adventure playground to discover the forest in a different way, in fun mode.

The Fisherman's Guinguette – fishing, treasure hunt and relaxation

Rod in hand, eyes fixed on the float… the first trout is not far away! At the Guinguette du Pêcheur, children learn to fish in a small corner of nature that is both calm and lively. Once the "trout" mission is accomplished, head to the playground or the treasure hunt, while parents relax in the restaurant, where the dishes showcase local products. At the end of the day, everyone gets together to share an ice cream in the shade of the trees, feet in the grass and a smile on their faces. An outing like a joyful, simple and effective interlude, to be fully enjoyed as a family.
