Le Clariant en Vercors
Le Clariant is a restaurant and information center located on a high plateau within the Vercors massif. The establishment serves regional dishes and provides access to information about the Hauts-Plateaux Nature Reserve and its surroundings.
The building stands near a site from the early 15th century where local powers engaged in armed conflict. The area retains traces of a time when this region was disputed by different territorial claims.
The name comes from a nearby spring and visitors gather here to experience regional food and learn about local culinary traditions. The rooms are arranged to frame views of the surrounding mountains, creating a sense of connection to the landscape.
The location is reachable from Corrençon village by footpath, with travel time varying by season. Winter brings cross-country skiing conditions and summer offers hiking routes, which affects when and how you plan to visit.
The facility operates independently from the power grid using solar panels and collects rainwater for its own use. This self-sufficient approach allows it to function on a remote plateau while significantly reducing its environmental impact.
