Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye
Set in the Isère département, at the gates of the Drôme, halfway between Grenoble and Valence, the medieval village of Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye, ranked among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, is considered one of the unmissable jewels of Rhône-Alpes heritage.
A high place of pilgrimage for centuries, the village keeps many architectural testimonies of its prestigious past. The Saint-Antoine site, listed as Historic Monuments, remains, as in the past, a formidable centre of attraction for people curious about their history.
You can discover the majestic Gothic abbey and stroll the narrow passages and medieval lanes within a very rich region: Saint-Marcellin, capital of the famous cheese, Pont-en-Royans, foothills of the Vercors, Vinay, capital of the Grenoble walnut.
