Voiron is an Alpine town at the foot of the Chartreuse mountains, world-famous as the home of Chartreuse liqueur. The town hosts the world's largest liqueur cellar where the secret recipe, known only to two monks, has been produced since 1737. Beyond the distillery, Voiron offers access to the beautiful Chartreuse massif with its limestone cliffs and forests. The town combines industrial heritage with mountain charm, serving as a gateway to outdoor adventures and monastic traditions.
