Old Pont-en-Royans on the river nestles against steep rock walls that here deeply jut into the valley. The colorful rows of houses seem to grow directly out of the rock and tell of a long history of building on and into the slope. Deep below, a calm river glides through the gorge, its surface reflecting the lively ensemble of facades.

It is a view that makes the close coexistence of nature and man in this alpine landscape tangible, where the development adapts to every corner. A bridge elegantly spans between the rocks, another sign of perseverance in this impressive terrain.

Access: A path from Place de la Halle leads down to the river at a distance of approximately 36 meters.
