Small village at 375 meters, backed the Mountains of Morning, bathed in Lyonne, on the edge of woodlands reliefs.
The name could come from Oriol, according to some experts, "Orian" (instead exposed to the rising sun).
The municipality is crossed by the main road 70 that leads from Saint-Jean-en-Royans to Léoncel then to necks of the Battle of Tourniol and Limouches. A Roman road runs through the town to join Léoncel. This was once the only link between the two municipalities.
Walking along the paths, one can discover several hamlets that are part of the town.
In the village there is a Romanesque church. Over the adjacent square stands a remarkable stone fountain.
SIGHTSEEING
If you climb the mountain of Musan, either by car or on foot by hiking trails, you will discover a unique perspective on the whole canton Royans east, on the plain of Romans and the valleys of Rhone and Ardeche in the West.
One feature of Oriol is that the town hall, surrounded by two classes of primary school was built on the 45th parallel.
