Saint-Laurent-en-Royans occupies the lower Lyonne valley in the Royans, where the western foothills of the Vercors meet the Drôme countryside. Limestone ridges and wooded slopes define the local setting, while the Lyonne continues north towards its confluence with the Bourne. This is an agricultural part of the historic Dauphiné, with walnut orchards in the wider Noix de Grenoble AOP area. Nearby Pont-en-Royans is known for houses suspended above the Bourne, and routes east lead into the Vercors’ gorge country.
