Between the high peaks of Belledonne and the Grésivaudan valley, come and visit the church of Saint Jean le Vieux, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and listed as a historic monument since 2004. With its original 11th-century bell tower, it is one of the oldest churches in the region. Its early Romanesque façade is decorated with vertical bands known as "Lombard bands".
