Lake Paladru is very popular in the summer, especially on weekends. Swimming is possible; there's a small, well-equipped beach.

Even more spectacular by bike than by car. Allows you to go from the Vercors of Isère to the Vercors of Drôme. Enjoyable in summer due to its coolness, watch out for patches of ice in winter. In summer, the road is very busy with cars and motorcyclists, so be careful.

During Holy Week, Christians commemorate the Passion of Jesus Christ, beginning with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), the Last Supper (Maundy Thursday), and ending with the arrest, condemnation, and execution (Good Friday), which then culminates in the Easter Vigil with the celebration of the Resurrection, the climax of the church year. The biblical accounts of the New Testament that describe these events paint a very nuanced picture of the Apostle Peter (Saint-Pierre), to whom the church of Charavines is dedicated: on the one hand, he is a determined disciple of Jesus, but also not free from human weakness and fear. In the Garden of Gethsemane, he (like the other disciples) falls asleep when Jesus turns to God the Father after the Last Supper and asks the disciples to pray as well. And after Jesus' arrest, Peter denies three times that he even knows him. But he also weeps over his weakness and, upon encountering the risen Christ, affirms his love and loyalty to him. His real name is Simon, but Jesus gives him the name Peter (which means "rock") on which the church is to be built and gives him—according to the account of the Evangelist Matthew—the "keys to the kingdom of heaven."

Not far from Vorreppe, the Isère River flows around the Bec de l'Échaillon, which overlooks it at an altitude of 622 meters. This meander offers a magnificent view of this Vercors peak.
