This underground landscape once invaded by water is now punctuated by rock sculptures with natural pigments. Through objects found in this millennial cave, we relive the daily life of Homo Sapiens. During the visit, the guide illustrates the formation of this cavity and its occupation during the last ice age. More info here: https://www.visites-nature-vercors.com/fr/grotte-de-thais/decouvrir/

It is the village that allows us to enter the Vercors. The houses are suspended above the river.

A small stop is worthwhile in Saint-Nazaire-en-Royans. From the bridge you have a great view over the Bourne towards the rugged cliffs of the Vercors. In addition, an impressive aqueduct spans the place, which creates a very special flair.
