A very pleasant place to take a break! A very old building, this provost's chapel was built before 1705.

The fortified house or château de Belmont dates back to the 13th century and features high walls and a typical Dauphin roof. It was listed as a historic monument in 1988. It is privately owned.

A small building in a rectangular shape, with an unique nave. This chapel is built on a terrace on a steep slope. Only the south wall has openings, including a rectangular door and a more unusual window framed by four monolithic blocks. Inside, beyond a limestone slab, the floor is made of rectangular terracotta tiles in the nave and octagonal tiles in the slightly raised choir. The chapel, without a vault or ceiling, contains no furnishings. Traces of pink decoration can be seen under the current white primer, which is peeling in places.

Recently restored, this oratory and its three wooden crosses dominate the village of Montrevel and the Biol hills.

This mysterious site overlooking the valley is home to the ruins of the former parish church, transformed into a private family chapel and now owned by an association. It's a very pleasant and peaceful site with a lovely view, an ideal place to take a break. Thank you for respecting this burial site.

Built in the 14th century the castle was restored on the 17th and 18th century. The castle is composed with a main building, with "dauphinois" rooftops, a round tower, a chapel adjoining to a medieval tower, and a courtyard. Overlooking the valley of La Tour-du-Pin, nested in the heart of more than 200 hectares of forests, meadows and ponds, the Vallin Castle, a haven of peace and greenery, offers a preserved natural setting. Built in the 14th century, by the Vallin family who owned it directly for five centuries, it is a private historic residence, which was partly redesigned and embellished in the 18th century. The murals in the neo-Gothic lounge and romantic dining room are unique in the area, as is the fountain and the tuff cave fireplace. In the park, the linden alley, with its 300 meters of length, its 70 magnificent trees and its 2 alleys of charmiles and romantic holly, the majestic cedars of Lebanon, offer a preserved natural setting. Located on the edge of the Vallin forest, the property can be the starting point of various family hikes. For twenty years, the Vallin Castle has been the subject of a major restoration campaign that has earned it the labels "Patrimoine Historique" and "Patrimoine en Isère" as well as national awards "VMF-Jeunes" in 2000 and "VMF-Barclays Bank" in 2011. The building has obtained the label "Patrimoine en Isère", rewarding the heritage quality of a building of departmental interest.

Picnic area near the school and town hall

Picnic area along the path that runs alongside the Hien.

The Chatelard occupies the end of a spur with very steep slopes, which was probably blocked by a ditch. The defensive morphology of the site suggests that the occupation is ancient (11th century : fortification of land, or 13th century : fortified house of the Lay family). Today, the complex consists of two courtyards: the barnyard where the barn and a pavilion are located, overlooking a terrace on the south side and the high courtyard bordered by a retaining wall flanked by several circular towers and the dwelling. The base of a portion of a straight wall and a tower, built mainly in tuff blocks, could belong to the thirteenth century. The massive circular dungeon (perhaps with older bases) and most of the surrounding walls would have to be brought back to the second half of the 15th century (keyhole shooting slots). But it is at the beginning of the seventeenth century that the castle owes its current appearance: a large building built on two levels, composed with symmetry on either side of the monumental door giving access to a vaulted passage leading to the high court. The upper floor, illuminated by high mullioned windows and double cross-braces whose support forms a string, bears a roof with two sides and hips, pierced with dormers and covered with scale tiles.

Next to the dovecote is the terrace, which is a delightful place to relax, but that's not all: just by the dovecote, there is an orchard! Another one of the many small pleasures of the Domaine de Suzel for you to make the most of.

Do you fancy a night under the stars, but with all your comforts? Then this bubble is what you have been looking for!

Equipped gite in a totally renovated former Dauphine farm. Courtyard and private garden in a country setting.
