Located in the heart of the Drôme, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the city of Valence is still far too unknown to tourists. Yet the small prefecture of nearly 65,000 inhabitants has many treasures to offer its visitors.

A treasure of history and architecture

Valencia is a city rich in history and heritage. You will discover the beauty of the place by crossing the Jouvet Park and the Field of Mars. During your visit of the old town, you will be able to admire the magnificent Romanesque facade of the festivities house and will finish by the visit of the museum in front of the Saint-Apollinaire cathedral. There is also an unusual way to visit the center of Valencia. To do so, you must go to the tourist office to get the map of Napoleon Bonaparte's itinerary which you will follow in his footsteps. Close to Valencia is the city of Romans, the shoe capital, where you can discover the shoe museum, pride of the local craftsmanship, as well as giant shoe sculptures inspired by the emblematic models of the local manufacturers whose fame is well known.

A protected natural environment

The Drôme is the ideal department to discover for all lovers of green tourism. Far from the seaside resorts overflowing with holidaymakers and far from the great sites that have become museums for tourists, Valence has a natural charm, all in peace. Indeed, the city of Valence is located between two protected national parks: that of the Ardèche mountains and that of the Vercors. The amateurs of fauna and flora like to discover the species by taking the many hiking trails.

The ideal place to practice outdoor sports

The Drôme has no less than 6000 km of hiking trails that can be taken on foot, horseback or bicycle. It is the ideal place for walking and mountain biking enthusiasts, but it is also the training ground for many trail enthusiasts. The waterways offer the ideal terrain for aquatic activities such as canoeing and kayaking for example (500 km of itinerary). There are many leisure bases to spend pleasant moments with family and friends. Thrill-seekers will also find climbing and free flight sites while via ferrata, caving and climbing enthusiasts will enjoy the mountainous part of the Alps.

Discover the local gastronomy

The Drôme is also the land of gourmet food and gastronomy. In the numerous restaurants in the town, you will have the opportunity to taste local specialties such as raviole and caillette accompanied by a local wine. Don't miss the apricot-based delicacies (the jewel of local agriculture) or orange blossom-based delicacies such as Pogne or Swiss. Even more surprising, truffle lovers will discover with pleasure the tasty taste of the variety that grows on the hillsides of Romans. Finally, we will end the evening with a digestive walk in the streets of the old town, enjoying the atmosphere of the places to go out.
