Le moulin de Solaure en Diois
Rental 1 large cottage and 2 smaller, but also charming guest rooms at the edge of the Drôme, at the foot of the cliffs of Vercors, 5 minutes from Die
This lovingly renovated medieval mill, in an exceptional and peaceful setting, is the ideal place to recharge your batteries and spend a peaceful stay near the water in complete safety.
We welcome you to our 3 listed gîtes 
Beautiful trees shade the property, and all summer long you can hear the song of the cicadas. The impressive southern cliffs of the Vercors dominate the valley and bring the pleasant coolness of the surrounding peaks every night.
The clear water of the Drôme flows over its pebbles all year round. It moves along its bed as it pleases, leaving us here and there, a few steps from the mill, some pretty little natural swimming pools and small sandy beaches.
Our neighbors the beavers have built several nests, which they occupy as best they can depending on the water level. They leave a few “construction sites” and nibbled branches on the banks. We can observe them at the end of the day.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing our favourite spots to make the most of your stay and prepare your next excursions.
The mill of Solaure in Diois is ideally situated to discover the surrounding valleys, the Vercors and the pretty Roman city of Die with its cultural life 5 minutes away by car.
Enjoy a valley rich in heritage and leisure :
- whitewater, canoeing, kayaking, canyoning, fishing,
- hiking, biking, mountain biking,
- mountain walking, climbing, via ferrata, caving,
- horse riding, paragliding,
- trips on the impressive Vercors roads,
- Culture and heritage in Die and the beautiful villages of the Diois region, Clairette de Die, markets, and all the fine products of the Biovallée.
The 3 independent cottages
a large cottage for 10-12 people and 2 smaller ones for 4 and 6 people
We offer 3 independent, rated holiday cottages
– “La Maisonnette” (The Little House) – sleeps 6
Formerly an outbuilding of the mill, this charming riverside cottage has been thoughtfully renovated using bioclimatic principles. It includes a shaded wooden terrace overlooking the garden and offers a beautiful, unobstructed, south-facing view of the valley.
– “Le Gîte sur la Rivière” (The Riverside Cottage) – sleeps 4
This charmingly renovated mill outbuilding has its own private entrance. Its garden, tucked away beneath the trees, connects via a wooden walkway to a large terrace perched directly over the water.
– “Le Grand Gîte aux Cinq Fleurs” (The Large “Five Flowers” Cottage) – sleeps 10 to 12
This option allows you to combine our 5 guest rooms into a single, self-contained unit.
This is only possible if all 5 rooms are available for your requested dates.

The 5 guest rooms
2 or 3 people
More friendly than a hotel, or a simple guest room: With its Independent entrance, your large shared kitchen, dedicated exclusively to the guest rooms, opens onto its small terrace and a very quiet small garden. Every morning, you’ll find your breakfast (included in the service). You can relax there, prepare your picnics and some meals.
All our guest rooms for rent have their own bathroom with toilet, comfortable bedding, WIFI, and a beautiful view. The Coquelicot and Capucine rooms sleep 3. The Bleuet, Lavande, and Mélisse rooms sleep 2.
Hiking and cycling maps and other information are available in the library, as well as a few board games. A parking space for electric car charging.
