Gîte Vol de Nuit
About
Gîte Vol de Nuit accommodates up to 18 people across 5 rooms, in Choranche, in the heart of the Vercors in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. What sets this place apart: the building is constructed directly into the cliff face, giving it a character that conventional accommodations simply don't have — without sacrificing comfort or practicality.
For a group of 18, the layout holds up well. The 5 rooms allow for a clear split between families or subgroups, without everyone being crammed together. The shared spaces take over for meals, evenings, and group time. The dishwasher and washing machine simplify logistics for longer stays — essential with children or when you're there for several days. The BBQ and games let you make use of the outdoor areas and fill the afternoons without having to organize much.
The surroundings are part of the equation: the river is a 2-minute walk from the front door, and the village and Vercors gorges are immediately accessible. Family groups with children of all ages — including very young ones — have stayed here and confirm the place lends itself well to it. A family birthday with extended relatives, a weekend with friends, an immersive nature retreat, a small gathering for a special occasion: the 18-person capacity and the setting make this gîte well suited to these formats.
The 31 Google reviews show an average of 4.5/5. Feedback consistently highlights cleanliness, the authenticity of the building, and the quality of the welcome. Some stays include meals prepared on-site — to be confirmed at the time of booking.
Choranche is located 4 km from Pont-en-Royans, the gateway to the Bourne gorges, with caves, hiking, and climbing accessible directly from the gîte.

Great place, the cottage is very clean and very authentic, the village and surroundings are magnificent, access to the river is 2 minutes from the front door! I recommend it.
My rating: 17/20. Perfection is never achieved by humans. A gîte built right on the rock face, but very well designed. Bernard's welcome is warm, and the meals are well-prepared and balanced. They were perfect for the hikers in my group. Bernard accompanied us to show us orchids and gave us excellent advice on routes to help us make the most of the wonderful sites in the area. I recommend this gîte for 3 days or even a week. Georges P
We booked the Ascension long weekend for a family gathering (11 adults, 8 children aged 6 to 14). We were all delighted with our stay at Pascale and Patrick's gîte, ideally located 4 km from Pont-en-Royans and 30 minutes from Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye. They are discreet and welcoming hosts. Thanks to their advice, we hiked to the Choranche cave, climbing through the undergrowth. A challenging hike that will leave lasting memories. The gîte is very pleasant, with the sleeping area on the first floor, allowing the children to make as much noise as they like without disturbing the rest of the family, who are busy reading or playing the games available in the common room. The stream bordering the garden is an ideal play area. The gîte is very clean, very comfortable (perfect bedding), and well-suited for groups (deep sink, large pots, colanders, pans, etc.). Pascale and Patrick are dedicated to ensuring their guests are happy. A big thank you to them.
Beautiful cottage and pleasant location. It's situated near a river, directly accessible via a small path that runs alongside the cottage. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. I recommend it.
A beautiful cottage in a stunning setting, with very friendly owners: a winning formula for a wonderful weekend with friends. The kitchen is perfectly equipped for about twenty people, and we were able to enjoy the surrounding mountains directly from the cottage. Thank you again!
