Revenons-à-nos-Moutons guesthouse has been carefully designed to provide an authentic welcome in the calm of the south-facing countryside. From the large terrace, the breathtaking view opens onto the Isère valley and the Chartreuse, Vercors and Taillefer ranges of mountains.

The large outdoor area contains more than 60 varieties of flowers, an orchard with 17 varieties of fruit, and a wood to discover different species of trees, hear the different songs of birds and see wildlife: deer, wild boar, piglets, foxes, badgers, hawks, common buzzards, etc. A table tennis table, a game of petanque and badminton rackets are also available.

The old adobe farmhouse of the nineteenth century, has been recently renovated in rough modern style. On the first floor, there are two pleasant tastefully furnished guest rooms, with a bathroom and a shared toilet. A beautiful solid parquet floor and good sunshine give a friendly atmosphere to the rooms.

Sylvie, the ecologist owner, vegetarian with vegan trend, lives an almost zero waste lifestyle and enjoys calm and reading. She has many years of experience in tourism (including 10 years with her own businesses in Rome with recommendations on The Lonely Planet, the Family Guide and awarded by 6 certificates of excellence by Tripadvisor) and knows the Prealps well. She can answer your questions and will be happy to trecommend which sites to see or activities to practice. On arrival she will offer you a guide to the best local addresses.

Depending on the season – and if you wish – you will be able to learn, for free, how to prune a fruit tree or vine, pick-up fruits, easily make a bird feeder at zero cost, spend a few hours as an apprentice shepherd, or go home with videos of the wildlife that passed through the woods during your stay.

In the village you can find all the local shops with a small organic solidarity market on Wednesday morning, and the village market on Saturday morning.

To conclude, Revenons-à-nos-Moutons provides return to a more virtuous lifestyle in beautiful countryside, with sheep as neighbours and a chance to learn about their well-being. You will meet Particle, Romuald and Lulu, the three adorable sheep of the field.
