A 10-hectare preserved natural setting, the Domaine Saint Jean de Chepy park is home to 85 works of art, mainly from the Sculpture Symposiums organized each year since 2007 by the ChépyTerra association. This collection, supplemented by a few works on deposit, constitutes "Le Chant des sculptures" (permanent open-air exhibition).

Like the estate and its 13th-century castle, the park bears witness to the passage of people and their various activities over the centuries. This is evident in the restored 18th-century Orangery and the 19th-century Beylier turbine, powered by the canal, a vestige of the area's industrial activity and still in operation today.

Crisscrossed by streams, ponds, and rivers, it also shelters a very diverse fauna, which has earned it the status of an LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) biodiversity refuge. As a protected natural area, it illustrates the Domaine's commitment to sustainable development with the installation of a company apiary, melliferous trees, and an orchard.
Thanks to this synergy between nature, art and heritage, the Domaine's park aims to become a place of disconnection and well-being, for businesses and individuals alike.

Sustainable tourism

The first biodiversity refuge for businesses in Isère!

The Domaine is, above all:

a 10-hectare park
a protected natural area
an area protected by the French Buildings Authority
streams, rivers and ponds

Step by step, we have implemented concrete and high-quality actions that accumulate and become fully coherent:

2014: creation of a shared apiary (corporate sponsorship)
2014: The park on the estate was awarded the "LPO" (League for the Protection of Birds) Biodiversity Refuge label – 5-year agreement
2015: creation of an organic vegetable garden with "Les Jardins du Prado"
a link between Art and Nature with ArtChépy and the creation of the following works:
2014: The Nest
2015: The insect hotel
2016: The "black hole" footbridge
2018: Installation of 20 "log hives" from the Cévennes region, hollowed out of chestnut trees – planting of melliferous trees
