Chemins de la Liberté – The Path to Freedom: Grange Vauneyre
12 km

Chemins de la Liberté – The Path to Freedom: Grange Vauneyre

This walk runs alongside the Memorial to the Resistance before leading to the site of one of the Vercors Resistance camps, Camp No. 6, which was set up by Benjamin Malossane in February 1943. The members of the Maquis survived for several months in the Grange de Vauneyre, which was tucked away in a quiet clearing hidden from view by the forest. Here you will be plunged into the day-to-day lives of these men and women who decided to join the underground movement. Setting out from the car park at Col de la Chau, head up the steps that lead to the Mémorial de la Résistance, getting the most out of the trail about the Memorial’s architecture. Now leave the Memorial footbridge on your right and carry on for a couple of minutes before taking the path that rises to the left, signposted by three steps. Cross the D76 (be careful: it’s a busy road) to the information panel on the other side and head in the direction of Grange de Vauneyre. A forest path climbs abruptly until you get to the Grange de Vauneyre meadow, which is where the men from Camp No. 6 were stationed. Take the forest path that goes to the left and walk along it for around 800 m until you arrive in front of a wide forest track. Turn left to go down the track via the GR95 that leads to the D76 in the direction of Col de La Chau. Staying on the same track, walk for a few meters along the secondary (départementale) road and head back to the car park where you started from.

The Moulin de la Pipe
3.9 km

The Moulin de la Pipe

The Moulin de la Pipe, named after a miller of the early twentieth century, Jean Géry, who was a great smoker and who was nicknamed "Jean de la Pipe". But on the Napoleonic cadastre, it is referenced under the historical name of "Moulin de Léaussel".After the flood of 1914 which carried off the canal, the dam and the mill installations, Jean de la Pipe sold the building to a resident of the Pescher du Bas. The purchaser Gagnol Adonis and his wife Julienne, born Bouillanne, transformed the Moulin into an inn from 1918. In 1935, they in turn gave it to Auguste Rey and Marie Bouvat of the hamlet of Ansage who exploited it for a year.In 1936, René Belle, who came from the Royans Isérois, bought them the Moulin. Advised by a traveling grocer of the valley, he launched the same year in the creation of an industrial dairy, producing butter and cheese with the milk collected in the neighboring communes.Meanwhile, the activity of the Inn could be maintained thanks to the excellent Georgette Charbonnel who prepared daily meals for workers and travelers. After providing employment to the inhabitants of Omblèze and the neighboring communes for half a century, the dairy experienced financial difficulties, so that it had to cease its activity in 1983. Georgette Charbonnel, the famous chef of the Moulin, which became a local celebrity, will have delighted the inhabitants of the region as well as the tourists from 1936 to 1985. She left the Pipe in 1986, where she lived and worked for 49 years.
