Église Notre Dame de Chalais – Monastère des Dominicaines
Built by the Chalaisian monks in 1101, this church is a very beautiful building of Romanesque art close to primitive Cistercian art. It is listed in the supplementary inventory of Historical Monuments. Its polychrome keystone is not to be missed.
Please contact the site in advance regarding accessible parking. Assistance is needed for people with reduced mobility to access the church.
In addition to visiting the Abbey church, the walk to the viewpoint (1 hour round trip) is ideal with views of the Isère valley and the Vercors and Belledonne mountain ranges.
You can also visit the Chalais biscuit factory shop.
