Provencal Drome
The Drome region of Provence, France is to the north-east of Orange, roughly delimited by Montélimar, Bollène, Vaison la Romaine and St Nazaire le Desert. It falls in both the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur and Rhone-Alpes regions. (The Drome department itself is officially part of the Rhone-Alps region - the so-called Drome-Provencal is to the southern edge of the Drome department and overflows south into Provence). The capital of the Drome is Valence.
Not so much a land of high drama as one of gentle rolling beauty, with the occasional rocky outburst, the provencal Drome - the southern part of the region - is the perfect place to take it easy, and to simply relax, in the lovely surroundings of quaint old villages, sunflowers and oliver trees, and above all the miles of lavender fields, colouring the landscape blue-purple for much of the summer.
Vaison-la-Romaine is perhaps the best place from which to explore the region, although many of the villages in the region are equally suitable, and set in attractive settings.
There are numerous small villages that dot the Drome region Some of the attractive villages in the region include Grignan, Dieulefit, Nyons, Buis-les-Barronnies in its lovely gentle mountain setting, and Rousset-les-Vignes.
Few of the little villages in the region will disappoint however, and each has something new to explore and discover.
