| Les Gorges de la Bourne
Several kilometres from here the road dips down into a narrow passage
dominated by steep cliffs rising to heights of up to 600 meters above the
rushing torrent. Stop at “La Goule Noir” – the black gullet – to admire the
water gushing out of the hillside, springing from below the plateau at
Autrans and Méaudre.
Les Grottes de Chorance
Just after the entrance, hidden on a cliff face, the hall is filled by a
lake, fed by crystal waters of two underground rivers. The cave is
decorated by thousands of extremely delicate, transparent,
stalactites, clear as crystal.
Pont en Royans
Must be one of the most unusual villages in the
area. It stands at the beginning of Gorges de la
Bourne, which represented the only way in or out
of the Vercors until the 19 th century.
Out of
necessity the houses were built on great wooden struts
overhanging the river.
