Valence, between the sweetness of life and the flavors of Drôme

Welcome to Valence, a sunny city at the gateway to Provence, renowned for its historical heritage, flower gardens and gourmet gastronomy. With its lively center, its banks of the Rhone and its southern atmosphere, Valence is an ideal destination for a stopover between Lyon and the South.

A historic center with Provençal accents
The heart of Valence seduces with its shaded squares, its private mansions and its elegant fountains. The Saint-Apollinaire church, a 12th century jewel, and the Maison des Têtes, decorated with Renaissance sculptures, bear witness to the city's rich past. We recommend a stroll along Boulevard Bancel, where the liveliness of the terraces and boutiques reflects the Drôme art of living.

A city facing the Rhône and nature
Valence offers privileged access to the banks of the Rhône, designed for walking and cycling. Fancy some greenery? Take a break at Parc Jouvet, a vast space in the city center, ideal for a relaxing break facing the Vercors.

Authentic and generous gastronomy
The Drôme is a land of gourmet specialties, where you can taste the famous pogne de Romans, the raviole du Dauphiné and the nougat of Montélimar.
