Patrimonio da visitare , Città e paesi dans la DrômeValenceVisite.org Ville 26000 Valence (Drôme)Start the visit on the culture trail, the highlights of which are found in the centre of the historic quarters with their twisty streets and passageways accessible only on foot. Here you will visit the Maison des Têtes with its Renaissance facade decorated with 4 heads representing the local winds, from the Mistral to the Tramontane. There is also an interior courtyard, with a fine loggia, showing evidence of Italian influences. Step inside the St-Apollinaire cathedral, particularly noteworthy for its successful conservation of the romanesque decor. Close by, the Musée des Beaux-Arts et d’Archéologie houses a Gallo-roman mosaic showing the “labours of Hercules” and “Orpheus charming the animals”. Other masterpieces include paintings by Hubert Robert who found inspiration in Italy , and the like of which are only found at St Petersburg ’s Hermitage Museum. Keep walking towards the Parc Jouvet with its pretty bandstand. The grassy paths stretch on towards the banks of the river Rhone, overlooked by Crussol fortress. A 40km network of flower lined canals thread through the city, an unusual feature which dates back to Roman times. A gastronomic visit taking in some of the most refined restaurants , including that of Anne-Sophie Pic, can be followed up with the discovery of the local sweet specialities like “pogne” and “Suisse”. The markets held at Place des Clercs offer a range of local delicacies including fruits from the Rhone valley, honey, lamb raised in the Pre-Alpine area, famous Côtes du Rhône wines as well as Montélimar’s renowned nougat. A walk in the shadow of two water towers : Such elegant giants! These two amazing buildings are symbolic of a whole district and are part of France’s heritage of modern architecture. The long, slim design of the Philolaos châteaux seems to defy gravity. 2 700 m 3 of concrete and 321 tons of steel were used to build these massive urban sculptures by Greek artist, Touplas Philolaos. Overlooking the Parc Jean-Perdix, these two tall structures tower 55 m above the ground and for more than 20 years have provided a reference point for local inhabitants.
