The Drôme, between the Vercors and Provence
The Drôme is situated between the Vercors and Provence and perhaps contains the most evocative and representative landscapes, but let’s take this a little further.
From the Drôme’s geographical position a set of varied landscapes unfold, shaped by human adaptations to these variations in climate and elevation. The crops and livestock are very diversified and they are today more often oriented towards organic production. Agrotourism and wine tourism have emerged to respond to this felt need for a return to nature.
This outstanding area offers quality products and the chefs of the area have consequently achieved excellence (7 starred chefs in the département). Anne-Sophie Pic, with her amazing track record, is our most celebrated ambassador. And to accompany these succulent meals, Drôme wines step up to the plate.
The Drôme is also about those little stone-built villages, enjoying hill-top locations for the most part, which entice many visitors with their charming lanes, not forgetting the lavender fields and silvered olive groves. The châteaux of Suze-la-Rousse, Montélimar and Grignan are always there to remind us that our area has a history and a memory.
For lovers of the outdoors, the Vercors, the Baronnies provençales and the ski and leisure resorts of the Drôme offer very varied family and sporting opportunities, featuring freedom thoughout the year.
