Discover a part of the rich history of Gigors, including the ruins of the Savel, the remains of an ancient medieval castle and the ruins of the Esperi, once entirely isolated in the lower part of the rock of the Aigle.
This walk takes you on the trail of the medieval history of Gigors and its former castle, dominating the valley of the Gervanne. Some beautiful points of view will be offered to you. Another characteristic is the proximity of the golf course of Gigors to the place "Sagnol".

  • The Church of St. Peter

    The church of Saint-Pierre is of Romanesque origin. Founded in the 12th century by the Cluniac monks, on a medieval motte with local limestone materials. The church initially had a defensive vocation by controlling access to the Vercors. It is built on a cruciform plan, composed of a single nave, illuminated by windows to the south.
