Saint-Jean-en-Royans

Saint-Jean-en-Royans sits at the foot of the Vercors Massif in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, where limestone uplands rise above the lower country of Royans. The town lies on the western side of the Vercors Regional Natural Park, a transition zone between the Drôme plain and high plateaux cut by deep gorges. Nearby Combe Laval is a vast limestone cirque, traversed by a cliff-hugging road built in the late 19th century for forestry access. The Bourne valley and its gorges lead farther into the massif, while Saint-Jean remains a local centre for the surrounding Royans communities.
