Villefontaine: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Villefontaine reveals its special features in specific locations: a circular route of around one hour leads around the Étang de Saint Bonnet and passes a dam dating from the 12th to 13th century as well as a viewpoint. The Étang de Saint Bonnet also provides a habitat for herons and European pond turtles.

Renting a holiday apartment in Villefontaine can be part of your own travel planning.

Nature

Guided walks are also part of the local offering. Pierres & Terres organises such walks through Villefontaine several times a year. They take place on foot in groups and include stops at interesting locations. The “Aux alentours du Layet” walk is around 3 km long and takes 2 to 3 hours including the stops.

Culture

Le Vellein in Villefontaine offers a cross-disciplinary programme for all audience groups as well as a special programme for young audiences. The venue has 532 seats. At the Biennale de Cirque 2026, the closing celebrations took place on Saturday, 6 June, at the Le Vellein venue in Villefontaine; they included outdoor and under-dome performances, circus workshops and activities. Family areas were also part of the closing celebrations.

Since 2008, Village Terre has been listed among the 45 sustainable development treasures of the Rhône-Alpes region.
