Very lively little town with a market on Fridays.

a monument in memory of the Second World War.

Marsanne is a very pretty little village where it is nice to take a break in the shade of its plane trees.

The association "Le petit train du Picodon" wants to rebuild a vintage passenger car. See here: https://www.le-petit-train-du-picodon.fr/aidez-a-restaurer-le-petit-train-du-picodon/

Please get off everyone! The two-hour train journey from Montélimar ended here in Dieulefit - average speed an exhilarating 15 km/h! Jokes aside: on these few kilometers along the Jabron river, there is a difference in altitude of almost 300 meters. The station building here is a lot bigger than those in La Bégude-de-Mazenc or Le Poët-Laval. The two distinctive trees in front of the building were already there at the time. Compare the postcard view on the building with the view today! Since 2011, the station has been home to an association whose mission is to preserve the history of the train line for posterity (https://www.le-petit-train-du-picodon.fr/).

A grand avenue in the middle of a village? This Allée des Promenades, surrounded by plane trees, marks the last few meters of the Le Petit Train du Picodon railway line. This street, which is relatively large for such a small village, was still surrounded on both sides by large villas and private parks at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, you don't see much of that anymore: large bushes block the view of the large properties. Part 11 of the Petit Train du Picodon bike tour.

The most beautiful view of the Jabron. The river in the heart of the Drôme connects Montélimar on the Rhône with Comps in the mountains north of Dieulefit over a length of 39 km. At the beginning of the 19th century, ceramic, wool and silk factories were built along the river. The Jabron was the backbone of this industrial development, it provided energy in the form of hydropower and supplied the manufacturing processes with the necessary amount of water available all year round. Since the river is not navigable, the railway line was built. Part 7 of the Petit Train du Picodon bike tour.

Welcome place to sit for a break. There are few benches on the tour!!
