The
town of Montelimar, stretching between Ardèche and Drôme, is famous for
its delicious nougat which it has made a specialty due to its
strategic position between two regions which produce honey and almond, basic products for nougat. If you
camp on a campsite in Ardèche or on a campsite in Drôme, Montelimar
awaits you in the Rhône Valley to let you taste its delicious
specialties by visiting a factory nougats.
However,
the town that nestles between the Drôme and the Ardèche in the Rhone
Valley, has many other advantages that its nougat. Town on the Provence border, Montelimar has the vast semi-pedestrian streets sheltered by
trees where you'll enjoy to come and sit on the terrace in full freshness. The
market square, where markets take place on Wednesday and Saturday
morning, offers colorful facades and arcades of the 16th century. The
Chateau des Adhemar, a rare example of residential palace from the
Romanesque period, built in the 12th century and transformed into a
citadel in the 16th century. Every summer, the castle is the site of exhibitions dedicated to famous artists (Miro, Chagall, Giacometti, etc..). We can complete the walk in the streets of the city by a visit to the museum of the miniature. This
museum was born following the success of the international festival of
the miniature is housed in the former Hotel Dieu and has collections
relating to the miniature, including some surprising micro-miniatures
presented through magnifiers.
As soon as you take the road from your campsite in Ardèche or from your campsite in
Drôme, take the chance, once you're in Montelimar, to enjoy a circuit in the Drôme
Provençal landscapes that hover between the olive and the Tricastin vine slopes, visit Grignan and its castle, Nyons and its museum of olive and discover the perched village of Poet-Laval.
