Saint-Chef boasts an abbatial church which is a French benchmark in religious heritage. Its rich collection of 12th-century Romanesque frescoes are among the best-conserved examples yet they are perhaps the least known to the general public. An identical model of this exemplary church was produced by historians and exhibited around 1940 at the cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine at the Trocadero in Paris. On entering the high chapel, the visitor is stunned by the decoration of the entire room. The floor (approximately 100 m²) is covered in gold and blue mosaic and the vault is entirely ochre. Matched only by the church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe, a French reference when it comes to Romanesque frescoes, this small chapel has an enormous symbolic dimension as it depicts Saint John's Heavenly Jerusalem.

If you want to buy products from a number of local producers without having to go from farm to farm, place your order online! The advantage? Benefit from products from around twenty farms in the area, with collection from a single farm! The order is registered at your nearest relay farm. You can find it easily on the website, on the "collection points" page and then see the list or map. Orders can be placed by telephone or by visiting a relay farm, no later than 8pm on a Saturday. For fresh produce, remember to bring a cool box or insulated bag and a basket to collect your vegetables. Packaging should be brought to the relay farms: egg cartons, glass jars (jam, milk bottles brought back clean, etc.), crockery pots, etc. Don't forget to bring the crates back too if you're taking them with you. The group is based on the following criteria: - the use of pesticides on crops is prohibited, - the use of sanitary treatments and antibiotics on animals is limited to those authorised in organic farming, - the use or purchase of products containing GMOs is prohibited, - The natural cycles of crops and animals must be respected, - wild and domestic biodiversity must be preserved, - priority is given to the production of animal feed on the farm, - the use of animal effluents to feed the soil, without pollution, is implemented, - renewable energies and fossil fuel savings are favoured, - self-sufficiency in plant and animal seeds is sought. On these points, some of which are more demanding than the "organic farming" specifications, each farm commits to development objectives to move towards farming that is even more respectful of nature and people. The exchange and dissemination of techniques between the different farmers in the group should enable everyone to benefit from the experience of others. More generally, in its links with consumers and the local area, the association will make it possible to: - limit transport by selling locally - introduce fair trade rules: a fair price for the consumer and a decent income for the producer, - promote consumer information by means of a liaison sheet, - involve consumers in the same way as producers in defining the association's objectives and decision-making processes.

Built in the 15th century, the history of the Serrières castle blends with that of a powerful Dauphinoise family: La Poype. The castle offers an imposing silhouette with its battlements, its pepper pot turret and its admirable dungeon. This feudal fortress, the best preserved in the area, stands in the centre of a 40 hectare park, on an estate of 90 hectares. From its promontory, one can admire the vast and relaxing panoramas of the department of Isère and the Pré-Alpes. The last owner, Jean-François de la Poype, Count of Serrières, General of Empire (1758-1851) had to give up his ancestral castle in 1845. Serrières was acquired by Monsieur Louis. His descendants, the Misses Rochette, sold it to the Renaud family in 1965. After extensive conservation work, the Renaud brothers handed the property to a foundation for cultural and patrimonial purpose, recognised by public decree of 8 March 1995, which continued the restoration and the necessary adjustments to make the building into a venue for reception, seminars and a cultural activities, with regional events, theatre, folk art, exhibition of old tools...

Cows, goats and sheep used this common lands until the 1960s. Then cereal crops were planted in the most fertile areas. Scrubland and woods took over the other areas, which were stony and steep.

Berry shrubs and flora adapted to a thin layer of arid soil flourish there. In the spring, walkers might come across lizards, grasshoppers and butterflies, and see the first lily of the valley, grasses, orchids, ferns, spurge and, of course, the site's emblem, the red pasqueflower, a rare and protected wild anemone with a beautiful dark garnet colour.

Originally, these "gabouillons", as they were called in the region, were very basic reservoirs dug out near the streams. The washhouses of Courtenay can be found in the village itself and at Lancin, Tirieu, Poleyrieu, Boulieu and Le Broquet. 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.

The parish church was built in the village between 1870 and 1880. It was named after Saint Martin who is depicted in an allegorical sculpture on the tympanum in which he offers the warmth of his coat to a beggar. The only vestige of the previous building is the 17th-century belltower, probably restored, which is still part of the current church. Inside the church is a baptismal font which, although undated, is known to be very old. The building also houses a tombstone dating from 1528, under which the remains of Louis le Balme de Montchalin, priest of Quirieu, Morestel and Courtenay, were buried, There are 16 medieval burial grounds dotted across the village, including the 7th-century "Catogane" cemetery and another at Flévin which dates from the 11th century. Five of these burial grounds have been excavated by the Archaeological Centre of Grenoble, but the absence of any furniture makes the task difficult for searchers who have never found any evidence of human presence.

This free parking area does not have access to water or waste disposal. It is a pretty place to stop for the night at the bottom of the village, and is appreciated by holidaymakers. The ground was stabilised to retain the natural aspect of the site, some shrubs were planted and a solid wood table made by a local craftsman was attached to the ground. The site totally respects the local environment. Since this area does not have the necessary infrastructure for waste disposal, holidaymakers are asked to take their waste away with them. Recycling containers and bins are available at the entrance of the cemetery just next to the church in the village square.
