Right from the start, it's truly remarkable! This village, perched above the Frou gorges, offers an exceptional panorama of the Hauts de Chartreuse. The steep slope on which Corbel is situated meant that early on, inhabitants had to devise ways to store water, which would otherwise quickly flow down to the Guiers Vif. Prior to the arrival of running water in 1989, each inhabitant had their own fountain or pond near their home. Explore these water features and the hamlets, which burst with flowers in summer. And yes, the village has been awarded its 1st Flower in the ‘Towns and Villages in Bloom’ competition!
Upon your return, explore the communal garden, which mirrors the landscape of the Chartreuse through a selection of structured, local, and food-producing plants—a vibrant miniature landscape. You can also visit the church, notable for its stained glass windows by Arcabas.
Lastly, the panoramic terrace of the Auberge Pompon is the perfect spot to relax after this delightful walk, brimming with landscapes and heritage.
