Top 10 things to do in Valence

Halfway between Lyon and Avignon, Valence is located in a plain in the Middle Rhône valley on the edge of the pre-Alps.

The city is sometimes referred to as La La Porte du Midi de la France (The southern gateway of France), and you feel the Mediterranean influences creeping into the architecture and streets of Valence. You’ll have enough on your hands for a weekend break, especially if you include the town of Romans, Valence’s close neighbor on the Isère right before it feeds into the Rhône. You can learn about life in the western Alps at the Musée de Valence, or head to the banks of Rhône and Isère to cycle and drive through vineyards, forests and pastoral villages. Discover the best things to do in Valence.


1. Musée de Valence



Starting with prehistory, this superb museum deals with life in the Middle Rhône Valley in the course of 4,000 years. There are more than 20,000 items in the collection, with interesting pieces from almost every stage of Valence’s evolution.

From Roman times there are altars on which bulls would have been sacrificed and a room full of mosaics. For something really strange there’s a taxidermied goat kid with two heads in the natural history section.

The fine arts galleries meanwhile have paintings by Camille Corot, Hyacinthe Rigaud, and the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard van Honthorst.
