A small village in Isère nestled at the foot of the Vercors, Rovon preserves several discreet monuments from its rural past. There, you'll come across a renovated Romanesque church, old stone farms, and a few wayside crosses. A village to discover along its narrow streets and trails.

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.

Beautiful view of the greenway on the Vercors. A bit long greenway with only one picnic spot

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