Fields of sunflowers, poppies, lavender, vineyards and walnut groves are interspersed with rugged mountain peaks, impressive natural monuments, rivers and gentle Alpine pastures with sheep and lambs.
Even at our house, you will regularly hear the bells of the flock of sheep passing by.
The combination of low mountains and good weather makes the region extremely fascinating.
In the Diois, the work is largely organic.
This means that no pesticides are used.
Let yourself be surprised by the unspoilt nature with an unprecedented fauna and flora.
The variety, the flora, the fauna with its scents and colours is a feast for every nature lover.
The Parc Naturel Régional du Vercors, with its many old villages, caves and museums, is 20 kilometres away.

Reviews
Anita & Frank from Nootdorp,
Weer heerlijk genoten van de omgeving, rust, zwembad, diners en de vele wandelmogelijkheden in de omgeving. Een fantastische plek en dus een aanrader.
Bedankt voor de gastvrijheid Margot en Reint.Teus en Aria from Leerdam,
Wát een súper fijne vakantie hebben wij gehad in zowel gîte Oléandre als Soleil, prachtige huisjes met eigen keuken.
2 weken zijn wij geweest, maar het hadden wel 2 maanden mogen zijn. Een schitterende plek, bijzonder aardige eigenaren, 2x per week een gezellige en heerlijke table d’hotes, een rustige plek met een heerlijke tuin en mooi zwembad.
Iedere ochtend hangt het verse brood aan de deur.
Práchtige omgeving om te wandelen of fietsen, de rivier de Drôme op 5 minuten afstand.
Wat kan ik er nog meer over zeggen?
Gewoon ook erheen gaan en het zelf gaan beleven.Tjerk Gottenbos from Leiderdorp,
Wat een fantastische vakantie hebben wij gehad. Een prachtige locatie, gastvrije eigenaren, mooie omgeving. De gîte was van alle gemakken voorzien. 2x per week kookt Margot een heerlijke maaltijd, restaurantwaardig.
Heerlijk zwembad.

Activities
The immediate surroundings are perfect for hiking.
The combination of low mountains and beautiful weather makes the region extremely fascinating.
Let yourself be surprised on your walk by the unspoilt nature with an unprecedented fauna and flora alternating with sunflower and lavender fields, vineyards, walnut orchards, rivers, rough mountain tops and lovely meadows.
The variety, the flora, the fauna with its scents and colours is a feast for every nature lover.
All our guests have a folder at their disposal in which we have described a large number of walks in Dutch.
Together with the accompanying map, you can go for a relaxed walk by yourself.
From our house, guests can make more than 10 different walks varying from a moderate to a difficult level and from short to long.
In addition, we have described many walks in the region of the Diois and in the Parc Naturel Régional du Vercors. The starting point for these walks can be reached by means of a car trip that leads through beautiful scenery.
If you like to make a bike tour, there are many possibilities in the Diois, because the region is on the border of the Alps and the Provence.
You can start cycling directly from our accommodation.
The Parc Naturel Régional du Vercors, with its many cycling/mountain biking routes, is only 20 kilometres away.
For the well-trained cyclist with road bike or mountain bike there are many possibilities.
Also with the e-bike you can make beautiful trips on quiet roads.
We offer routes, maps and good advice.
Attention: With a "normal" city bike and/or a bad condition you will not get far.
You can safely "store" your bikes and equipment in a covered and enclosed area.
If you like to make a tour with your car or motorbike, there are many possibilities in the Drôme.
The region is situated on the border of the Alps and the Provence.
This gives you a very varied landscape, but also the possibility to make a trip to the Provence in the south or the Alps in the north.
If you stay in the region, the Parc Naturel Régional du Vercors with its many routes at 20 kilometres is a must.
If you want to drive more kilometres one day, you can make a beautiful daytrip to the Mont Ventoux in the south, to the Alpe d'Huez in the north, the Rhône valley in the west or to the east towards Gap and the "Lac de Serre-Ponçon".
We also offer routes, maps and good advice.
For the motorcyclists we also have routes that they can load into their GPS.
