Cultural and Outdoor Experiences

Since Chavant is nestled up in the mountains of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, having outdoor adventures on your holiday itinerary should be an easy decision. There are numerous trails where hiking, biking, and even horse-riding can be done. There is also plenty of native wildlife to watch out for and observe.

Grenoble's long and rich existence dates all the way back to the Gallic tribes, which means there are numerous museums showcasing different periods of the city's history and culture.

Another historic site worth visiting is the Bastille of Grenoble, a stalwart fortress that watched over the city while defending against possible enemies that might pass through the mountains.
