La Motte-de-Galaure walks

Walk in the Galaure valley between plains, hills, valleys and villages.

In a wood near Saint Barthélémy de Vals, these rocks form a group of 51 blocks arranged in three roughly concentric circles covering nearly 6 hectares, hence the name "Cromlech de la Roche qui danse" (Dancing Rock Cromlech). Legend has it that "at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, the rocks begin to dance". Please note: see the practical information section.

Hike starting from the small village of Saint-Andéol, where there is a small church called Le Prieuré.You will walk uphill to the Tour de Ratières, where your climb will be rewarded with a magnificent, almost 360° view of the Alps and the Vercors to the east, as well as the Pilat massif and the Ardèche mountains to the west.

The Drôme hills offer rolling countryside landscapes against the backdrop of the Vercors and, when visibility is good, the peaks of the Alps can often be seen on the horizon. These are beautiful walks all year round, best enjoyed when the days are short and snow is approaching the plains. The route has a modest elevation gain, making it accessible to most people. What's more, the fact that it is spread over two sections of the route makes it easier to complete

A marked circular in the Drome des Collines, with beautiful views of the Vercors and Mont Saint-Gerbier-de-Jonc, passing through the undergrowth. Discover the Blue Cross and Red Cross. Partially shaded route.

On the outskirts of Sarras, the Ay river winds its way through a gorge that can be seen from certain points along the route, offering beautiful views of a unique landscape of cliffs and rocks.

A family-friendly trail in the Bois de Sizay, a true refuge for flora and fauna where you feel far away from it all.

Hikes in the woods and countryside around Saint-Donat-sur-L'Herbasse, with views of the Vercors mountain range and the Herbasse valley, and discovery of the forest's biodiversity.

Hike along the banks of the Rhône and on the heights overlooking the Rhône valley, around the village of Andance. This walk offers beautiful views overlooking the valley of this majestic river.

Hike near the Rhône, to the north of Ardèche. You will be surprised to find areas that are this "wild" so close to the Rhône Valley (Ardennes). At the end, the view of the Rhône and the Arras tower is a definite plus.

From Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse, a short circuit passes by the Château de Charmes, a private property that is open to visitors, then winds pleasantly through the woods with a few views of the surrounding hills.

A loop alternating between hills, fruit tree plantations, the beautiful forests of Garde and Bard, and numerous sandy paths (almost Saharan!) Beautiful views of the hills and the Vercors and Pilat massifs.

The route skirts the Rhône valley through valleys, streams and orchards. A very pleasant corner of the Drôme.

Hike along the ridge above the Rhône through villages, vineyards and forests with beautiful views.

Over the Rhone balconies between grape vines and apricot trees, with pretty little streams.

Hike in the Mazèvieux valley north-east of Vion, which will take you past the ruins of Iserand Castle.

The hike is mainly in the woods, on pleasant paths. You will be in the shade in summer and sheltered from the north wind (Mistral) if it blows (frequent in the region). Wild descent to Vion, with a few views of the Rhône valley. The last two kilometres are easy, on the plain, through the orchards of the Rhône valley.
