Montélimar et ses joyaux historiques et gourmands

The bright gateway to Provence, Montélimar heralds the first fields of lavender, the gentle south and that little taste of vacation that instantly puts you in a good mood.

Known and recognized as the Nougat Capital of France, our town is full of nuggets: a medieval castle that keeps a watchful eye on history, greenways perfect for cyclists, a sun-drenched forest and leisure center... And all this just 2 hours from Lyon and Marseille!

Experience slow tourism, where you take the time to live life to the full - true epicureanism!

Here, perched castles have a story to tell. The first lavender fields whisper the arrival of summer. And Montélimar proudly displays its title of Nougat Capital with its characteristic gourmet flair.
With its dazzling landscapes, heritage, generous nature and art of living, our region has that little "je-ne-sais-quoi" that makes you want to get away... whatever the season!

A must: the best of our region!
Of course, it's the mythical Nougat de Montélimar... the one that has melted generations of gourmets and given Montélimar its legendary reputation. A sweet, living, authentic heritage. Let yourself be tempted...
But that's not all!
It's also the mythical old Nationale 7, the art of strolling along the Viarhona, breathing in the scent of lavender fields, bargain hunting in the town center and the public garden, having a coffee at our Provence-colored market and exploring a rich and fascinating historical and medieval past.

Montélimar is a connected city, ideal for relaxing in the heart of Provence.
Montélimar is THE destination between town and country.
