Called the Gateway to the south of France, Montélimar merits a stop. With its “Provençal allées” where one relaxes at the terrace of a café, the nougat capital is a delight for visitors. The Contemporary art centre in the Adhémar castle holds prestigious exhibitions every year.

The Montélimar region is situated in Drôme Provençale, the gateway to Provence of which Montélimar is the capital with 33 000 inhabitants. Apart from the nougat, whose reputation has crossed many borders, the city, with its Provençal allées, contains a rich and varied heritage with its old town, the Contemporary Arts centre in the chateau des Adhémar, the Miniatures museum and vintage planes. While touring the 12 hilltop villages making up the rest of the group, the visitor will discover a rich cultural and natural heritage.
