Drome Provenzal

The Provencal Drome, the southern third of the Drome department, headed by Valence. It is a series of landscapes and towns that make you think that you're in Provence, lavender fields, climate and culture similar to that of Provence. The towns of interest are Grignan, a city famous for its medieval center and castle, where the Marquise de Sevigne lived. Then you Adhemar castle, the castle of Aulan. You can stay in a country hotel pretty cheap and be totally in the countryside, leaving a day of visits to these villages, the day after an oil mill and a wine cellar, mixed culture with gastronomy and generally good weather.
