Right from the start, it's a real highlight! This village, which overlooks the Frou gorges, offers an exceptional panorama of the Hauts de Chartreuse.
The steep slope on which Corbel is situated meant that very early on the inhabitants had to store water, which otherwise quickly trickled down to the Guiers Vif. Before the arrival of running water in 1989, the inhabitants each had a fountain or pond near their home. Discover these pools and the hamlets, which are full of flowers in summer. And yes, the village has been awarded its 1st Flower in the ‘Towns and Villages in Bloom’ competition!
On your return, discover the communal garden, which reflects the Cartusian landscape through a choice of structuring, local and food-producing plants. A colourful miniature landscape. You can also enter the church, remarkable for its stained glass windows by Arcabas.
Finally, the panoramic terrace of the Auberge Pompon is the perfect place to recover from this charming walk, rich in landscapes and heritage.
