What to do in Montélimar?
Specialities of Montélimar
In the heart of the Drôme Provençale, Montélimar is a town full of activities. 2ème Montélimar, a town in the Drôme and only an hour and a half from Lyon and Marseille, is the ideal place to get away from it all for a weekend. A thousand year old town steeped in history, it has seen the ages pass by and the walls of its castle have witnessed many events. In addition to the visit of the castle of Montélimar and the historical discovery of the city, its heritage is multiple.
Montélimar is known for its famous nougat, considered by some as the best nougat in the world. This is an opportunity to melt with pleasure while tasting it and to learn a little more by visiting the Nougat Museum. You can also watch it being made in several of the town's factories, which regularly open their doors to the public so that you can discover the different stages that give it its exceptional character.
and its surroundings
Montélimar is also the ideal starting point for visiting the hilltop villages of its conurbation. Marsanne, Puygiron, La Laupie, Saint-Gervais-sur-Roubion, Sauzet and Savasse all seem to be suspended above the valleys that surround them. Nestling on the hills, these villages are well worth discovering, both for their unique locations and for the bucolic atmosphere that characterises them.
