In the south-west of the Balcons du Dauphiné, between hills and ponds, Panossas stands out for its beautiful red hues, a phenomenon that can be explained by the rich iron content of the limestone, which is found in the various architectural features.
The village then gives way to a variety of landscapes, from undergrowth to panoramic views over the Isle-Crémieu, as you make your way along this hilly walking route.

The fortified house of Antouillet :
Our region, situated on the border between Savoie and Dauphiné, had many fortified houses. Antouillet is a fine example. This house once played a military role, helping to defend the area.
