Beautiful little chapel in the forest. Built on the spot where the Virgin appeared to Pierre Port-Combet, the chapel of L'Epinouze is a modest sanctuary with a rectangular plan, topped with a gable roof. It houses a small Virgin of the Immaculate Conception in polychrome plaster.

A beautiful cycle path that follows the Isère River. There are a few places to stop for a picnic, and there's even a water fountain. This is a good place to cycle during the summer months as it's generally cooler along the riverside, which is well shaded.

La Fessole is an unguarded shelter within an old farm. Possibility of taking shelter in the middle of the forest if necessary.
