In the heart of the Vercors Regional Natural Park, perched in another world, your panoramic refuge, nestled on a small plateau, lets your eyes be amazed as you contemplate the plunging cliffs of the Goulets, the depth as far as the eye can see of the Cirque de Léoncel or the tranquility of the small orchard which is home to magnificent trees, but also three llamas, a horse and a sheep. The space . You are immersed in nature, in the heart of an orchard, in a small peaceful hamlet on the heights of Pont-en-Royans, a few hundred meters from where your hosts Lionel, Myriam and their three daughters live.

Here reigns a sweet mix combining the serenity of the Vercors Isérois mountains and the joie de vivre at the gates of the south, in Drome.
