                          Our Region, Royans/Vercors: the mountains, the water, the sun

Located in the Vercors Regional Natural Park between mountains and rivers, Royans is characterized by its green softness.

A multitude of springs gush out there at the foot of the limestone citadel of Vercors.

One of them formed the majestic circus of Combe Laval. Protected as a classified site, Combe Laval is the ideal place to discover lush fauna and flora while hiking to the sound of the river.

Not far from there, you will find the hanging village of Pont en Royans at the water's edge, where the colorful houses are reflected in the waters of the Bourne

​

A paradise for hikers, the Vercors is a unique and idyllic natural space.

It includes vast expanses of meadows and forests as well as the possibility of venturing up to the summits with remarkable perspectives. 

Looking up at the sky, you will surely be lucky enough to see a golden eagle, unless it is a peregrine falcon or a lyre vulture.
