La Sône: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
La Sône first draws the eye to the Jardin des Fontaines Pétrifiantes: the garden bears the French “Jardin remarquable” label, awarded to it on 22 December 2017.
Culture and History
The Tour de La Sône is a fortified building dating from the 12th century and now houses two exhibition rooms with objects relating to the history of the commune. The local events calendar also includes the Fête de la Truitelle Sônoise, a traditional village festival. The date and programme are confirmed each year by the municipal administration.
Notable buildings include the Church of Saint-Pierre and its remarkable bell tower. A feudal castle was built on the rocky promontory overlooking the river. During the Wars of Religion, the castle was converted into a fortress; it was rebuilt in the 16th century.
Nature
Below La Sône, springs form tufa, a light and porous rock. It develops when mosses and plants become coated with limestone; this phenomenon can be observed in the Jardin des Fontaines Pétrifiantes. The garden is home to more than 800 plant species, including rare exotic, Mediterranean, aquatic and tropical plants.
The Sentier du Martin-Pêcheur provides opportunities for birdwatching. Three information panels explain the river’s natural environment. The trail runs along a biodiverse section of the Isère.
Water and Trails
La Sône is a possible stop along the La Belle Via cycle route beside the Isère. Canoeing and kayaking activities are offered on the river’s calm waters under the supervision of the Club Aviron Sud Grésivaudan. They are suitable for beginners and experienced participants.
