Quai des Haltes is located in the former Chalencon train station, on the "Dolce Via" (the gentle path of the Eyrieux Valley), surrounded by a beautifully preserved natural environment. It serves as a starting point for numerous walking and cycling routes and is the perfect spot for a gourmet or recreational break.

In the rehabilitated station, which has retained all its authentic charm, several relaxation areas come to life throughout the seasons: a shaded terrace, a sunny garden, and a travelers' waiting room.
On-site, various games are available to enhance your visit: large wooden games, an air hockey table, Mölkky, Breton shuffleboard, a pétanque court, card games, and board games.

Specialties:
- The "Dolce Via Brunch" served every Sunday in low season (April, June, September and October), by reservation (3 courses: at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.15pm), except on Sunday 25th October 2026.
- The chef's chestnut/hazelnut cake: a must-try classic!

Sustainable tourism

"Le Quai des Haltes" is the ideal stopover for nature lovers and slow tourists. Nestling along the "Dolce Via" cyclepath, our authentic spot invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment to the full. Here, everything exudes conviviality: carefully selected local produce, a shady, sunny terrace sheltered from the noise, a garden where time stands still, and the old little station where you can share a game of cards or a board game... This is a place where simplicity rhymes with serenity and generosity!
