Do you know that Vertrieu is the northernmost town in the department of Isère? It is also one of our unfairly overlooked nuggets because it has no less than two castles and if it were only that! Its geographical location on the banks of the Rhône, facing the cliffs of Bugey, with the Serverin forest as its backdrop, makes it a dream location for strolling.
Here, you will discover a preserved heritage between alleys and wooded paths. And there reigns a beautiful village atmosphere made of the pride of the inhabitants to make known and love their borders of the Dauphiné.
