Explore "Les Coteaux de Saint-Roch", a sensitive natural area with three natural environments : the Grottes de la Balme caves and cliffs, the forest and the dry grasslands on a signposted trail (8 posts). The Coteaux de Saint-Roch sensitive natural area (ENS) is located in the north of the department of Isère on the plateau of Isle Crémieu. This classification was obtained by the village of La Balme-les-Grottes (38390) in 2009 from the Department of Isère, which supports it technically and financially in terms of management and preservation. A Sensitive Natural Area is a remarkable site in terms of natural heritage (flora, fauna and landscape). The aim is to conserve the biodiversity of a defined area, while making it accessible to the public in order to raise awareness of the management and preservation of an ecosystem.

An equipped area is located at the southern entrance of the village of La Balme-les-Grottes, 700 metres from the entrance to the caves. You'll find picnic tables, toilets, a shelter in case of rain and a playground for children up to 7 years old.

In the heart of Amblagnieu, come and discover the church and its simple garden! The church consists of a nave, a choir and 5 chapels: 3 on the north side and 2 on the south side. The bell tower is a square tower with geminated windows (a window divided into two equal parts, usually vertical, usually by a column). A medallion reads "Saint-André and Saint-Laurent 1510", indicating the saints to whom the building was dedicated, but perhaps also the date of a reconstruction or renovation of the church. Over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, the church was gradually abandoned in favour of the new church built in Porcieu, the commune's new centre of activity. In 1993, the church was bought by the association "Les Amis de l'église d'Amblagnieu" (Friends of Amblagnieu Church) to restore it and preserve its original function. In 2003, the Town Hall became the owner of the building. In 2009, a "garden of simple plants" was created. Maintained by volunteers, it features more than 100 medicinal plants used in folk medicine, classified according to their properties (tonics, digestive, febrifuge, etc.). This historic garden is enriched by aromatic plants and ancient species, and is a reminder of the importance of natural remedies in local culture. In 2010, the frescoes inside the church were restored. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

You have an absolutely remarkable view of the two châteaux de Vertrieu from this orientation table.

Of the 7 washhouses that were still in use at the beginning of the century, only four remain, in Vassieu, Conilieu and Amblagnieu. They are still fed by springs. Originally, these "gabouillons", as they were called in the region, were very basic reservoirs dug out near the streams. All of the washhouses were built in the same layout, with a roof to protect the washerwomen from the rain or sun. To allow daylight through, the working area was never protected by a wall.

In Marieu and Turnoud, the wells have a rim surround and a winch to draw water. The well at Conilieu, on the small square outside the château, is covered with a large stone slab. In June, it is surrounded by a ring of purple irises. (Source: Les Communes du Pays des Couleurs se Racontent). Canton of Morestel administrative district. Le Pays des Couleurs (Land of Colours).)

The ponds shelter endangered species of amphibians such as the Treefrog and Crested Newt, as well as a protected plant: Teucrium scordium. The site forms an 'oasis of nature' in the middle of the agricultural plain.

Enjoy a picnic in the Jardin des Simples, on the stone table or benches.

Due to the diversity of monuments and curiosities of the city, such as the XVIIIth century cooler, the two castles and the bucolic garden called "jardin des simples", Vertrieu is an unavoidable milestone in the Balcons du Dauphine territory. Vertrieu owes its development to its location, in a Rhone's hollow, which helped it grow its maritime activity during centuries. Its highly strategical position stands from the High Middle-Age, as the tombs in the Rue des Juifs testify. Vertrieu's architecture in the end of the Middle-Age is as urban, with its narrow lots alongside the streets, as it is rural with outside stairways typical from the winegrowers' houses, and agricultural commercial activity. Wherever, if the Rhone is linked to the town's History, so are the castles called "new" and "old" that shape the landscape. If you like romantic walks in nature or strolls nearby the river, or if you are a History lover, you can only fall for Vertrieu's charm!

There is no heating or lighting in the tents (lighting in the kitchen and meal tents only). The campers have a common toilet block, functional and maintained (toilet paper not provided). At the entrance of the campsite, a sheltered 200 m2 barnum equipped with tables and benches allows to meet, shelter or share meals. The services include: free Wi-Fi, possibility of electric connection 5A for a fee, and a snack bar open in season offering ice creams, cold drinks and hot drinks. There is no catering on site. The campsite particularly appeals to kayakers thanks to its immediate proximity to the artificial river of the Espace Eau Vive. The evening atmosphere is generally calm, with campers mainly coming to train, recharge or attend sports camps.

In a country setting, come and recharge your batteries and relax in the Village des Pêcheurs, where you will receive a warm welcome from Fabienne and Lucien Rigot
