About

Explore this spot in Soyans. Great spot for kayaking, canoeing and supping. Soyans is a commune located in the department of Drôme in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. The area around Soyans is characterized by rolling hills covered in a patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and orchards. The village itself is surrounded by lush green forests of chestnut and oak trees, with the jagged peaks of the Vercors Mountains visible in the distance. The region is also home to several picturesque medieval villages, including Crest and Montélimar, and the city of Valence is just a short drive away. The area is popular with hikers and cyclists, who come to explore the many trails through the countryside, as well as with foodies, who come to sample the local cuisine and artisanal products.
