The estate has its roots in an ancient fortified house built in the second half of the 13th century. It notably served as a summer residence for the lords of Tullins. The building was extensively remodeled in the 16th century, then in the 18th century (when it took the name Château des Cordes), before its facade was modified in the 19th century. The castle has been protected as a historical monument since 1977 (partial inscription, and classification for its south tower).

Vatilieu, a village in the South Grésivaudan with 382 inhabitants, nestled in the hills of the Pays de Vinay at an altitude of 600m, overlooks the Isère valley facing the Vercors mountain range. It is facing this magnificent panorama that the municipality of Vatilieu organized for 5 years from 2010 the symposium "Sculpture aux 4 vents". This event, unique in Isère, allowed, from 2009 to 2015, five French and foreign professional artists to create in 10 days a monumental work installed on a ridge path of the commune on the theme: "The search for harmony between the place, the texture and the subject." In 2015, it was a collection of 25 sculptures installed in situ, offered to walkers and art lovers on this five-kilometer loop, a fine example of the decentralization of art in rural areas. The sculptures created are visible all year round by following the signage opposite the church of Vatilieu.

Le Coup de Sabre is a narrow passage located between two rock formations. This place may evoke a single rock that has suffered a saber cut, breaking it into two parts, which is where its name comes from. The mix of vegetation and rocks gives this place a beautiful atmosphere.
