Description

This circuit around the village takes you to discover its various hamlets, where some old buildings have been preserved. The return journey crosses the undergrowth typical of the Vercors.

This route quickly takes you to the medieval ruins of Foirevieille Castle, where the first dwellings were established in the 13th century. A quick detour on foot offers a beautiful view of the village, which was rebuilt after the Second World War. In a rural and agricultural atmosphere, you reach the hamlets of Gagnaires, La Franconnière, and Les Aubanneaux, where some old buildings have been preserved. The last part will be in the undergrowth in the Bruyères beech forest.
