Donzère

On the southern slope of the plateau, locals benefit fully from the ideal situation of the village. The Romans knew it at the time and evidence of their presence here was found through excavations. Located along the river Rhone, the defile of Donzère separates the plain of Montélimar and the plain of Tricastin with majestic limestone cliffs blazing at sunset. No longer as powerful and wild as it was before the gigantic engineering work of men, the river has now settled. The village itself, former stronghold of the prince-bishops of Viviers, offers to adventurers who dare to leave the main road and the highway, a range of beautiful scenery along the village’s narrow streets and shaded squares.

Stop off at the "Amis du Vieux Donzère" museum, housed in a remarkable house with a Renaissance facade, to admire collections recounting the town's history from its earliest days.
