Micro-brasserie L'Echopp' de Travers

At L'Échopp' de Travers, Corentin produces craft beers as well as various homemade products.
A covered terrace allows you to enjoy their creations and take a break during your visit to ViaRhôna.

Located right next to the ViaRhôna cycle route, the L'Échopp' de Travers microbrewery is a family business nestled in the heart of the Balcons du Dauphiné region.
