A particulary eye-catching path which offers a panoramic view on Le Rosanais and L’Oule valleys. La crête de Raton is a very privileged place where chamois can be observed.

The hydraulic system of the bathing water of the Pas des Ondes reconstitutes a natural scheme of operation thanks to its settling basin where circulates the water that comes from the Oule with a flow rate of 30 L / s. The purpose of this pond is to filter and capture the fine particles of silt in suspension to limit the turbidity of the water and to keep a maximum of clarity for swimming. Once past the swimming lake, the water flows into the fishing pond before returning to the Oule.

Due to their good integration into the natural site of Pas des Ondes, these two water bodies do not necessarily show that they are actually artificial. Developed in the 90s to support local tourism development, the site of Pas des Ondes has since been an oasis particularly popular in the summer season. The smallest of the water bodies is intended for swimming while the largest is reserved for fishing.

Between the banks of the river and those of the lakes, the gray heron and the Martin fisherman each have their hunting stations while the Black Milan occupies the role of the cleaner by recovering the corpses of fish and amphibians. The water bodies also host several species of remarkable birds for the region, in staging areas such as the Knights Cul-blanc and Guignette, the Northern Shoveler or Garganey and exceptionally the Osprey.

The fish fauna of the lake was introduced during the creation of lakes in the 90s. Among these non-endemic fish in the environment are carp, roach, tench and rainbow trout, introduced to promote recreational fishing. The most representative species is the carp but we also find the Chevesne and the Common Perch (only predator). Two fishing pontoons are set up on site, including one for people with reduced mobility.

The Cornillon-sur-l'Oule castle is one of the most impressive testimonies of the Provencal comtal power which controlled, between the 13th and the 15th century, a set of seigniories in the Oule valley, called the "claverie de l'Oule". The dimensions of the sides of its triangular enclosure are 44, 30 and 51 meters. To the east and below the castle stood the medieval village of Cornillon which only a portion of the northern wall that meets the castle is still visible.

Above the road towards the Bugeue ridge, a wood of old oaks with crooked trunks, was used to feed the flocks. Young twigs were regularly cut to feed the animals with the leaves of the trees. With each cut and each regrowth of these branches, the scars of the wood formed balls that the bark would overlay little by little. These trees are called "tadpole oaks" (with a head) because of their very specific shape.

The former sheepfold of La Botte is one of the most visible scenery markers of the pastoral activity which reigned on the mountain of Buègue until the post-war period. Now rehabilitated as a dwelling, the building was built with the slope: The level offset made it a ground floor destined to the animals and a first floor devoted to the hay. On the other hand, the sheepfold had been positioned on a sunny slope and near a creek.

These ruins are the last visible remains of the several farms of this side of Buègue, gradually abandoned since the end of the 19th century. The L-shaped building, frames a courtyard bounded by a wall to the south. On the ground floor, it gathered several spaces devoted to animals: A sheepfold for goats and sheeps, a stable for horses, a "pourcieu" for pigs. On the first floor, a part was reserved for living, while the other one was devoted to storing the hay.

The Saint-Laurent chapel is one of the remains of the church of the priory of Bodon. Originally from an abbey founded in the 6th century by a holy monk named Mary or May, in the 12th century, this priory controlled forty churches located between La Motte-Chalancon, Lemps and Sainte-Jalle, and was then attached to the abbey of Ile-Barbe, in Lyon. This small chapel was located in the southern apse of the church of which there are vestiges (private property, forbidden access).

The vineyard of Châtillon-en-Diois produces wines of Appellation d'Origine Controlée (AOC). It combines 65 ha of vines making it one of the smallest appellations. The vineyard extends over the foothills of the Vercors, which protects it from the winds of the North. It produces red and rosé wines, from gamay syrah and pinot noir grapes, as well as white wine from aligoté and chardonnay grape varieties.

Anthony introduces his refined and authentic cuisine. You will enjoy the dining room’s modern and classic decoration with a terrace and views of Solaure mountain. A bit about me: At Tain L’Hermitage Catering School, I pursued my passion and honed in on my skills, winning several awards on the way. I then furthered my experience in some of the best restaurants in France and abroad. I am ambitious, passionate and hardworking and with L’ABC Restaurant I have fulfilled my wish to bring back home a simple and authentic cuisine cooked with regional and natural products. L’ABC menu will change regularly following the seasonality of produce so don’t expect a menu full of dishes but rather an offer that changes frequently. Equally, do not be surprised if you find empty tables in the restaurant, as my number one priority is the satisfaction of my current clients rather than filling the dining room…
