Valence Old Town

Valence's historic center and although quite small, a beautiful place where you can explore in two or three hours. It really seems as if you are in the south of France, in the Provence region, and if the weather is good the beautiful yellow and pink houses remind one of southern Italy. But Valence is only an hour's drive south of Lyon and it surrounded by mountains. The points of interest in the center include Jouvet Park, a green space that faces the mountains of Vercors, various downtown pedestrian plazas, with many cafes and restaurants and narrow streets with many old buildings.
