The Château des Adhémar in Montélimar is a stunning example of medieval architecture and a significant landmark in the Drôme region. Originally built in the 11th century by the Counts of Toulouse, it was expanded into a magnificent palace by the Adhémar family in the 12th century. Over the centuries, it has served as a fortress, citadel, and prison. Today, it is a publicly accessible monument historique and offers a fascinating insight into the region's history. Visitors can admire the well-preserved Romanesque architectural features and enjoy the breathtaking views from the battlements.

nice little walk visiting the town center of Montelimar with a stop at the restaurant Le Troquet next to the post office

This castle (private property) founded in the 14ᵉ century retains very few vestiges of this period. It was refurbished in the 17ᵉ century, with a south facade made in the 19ᵉ century in a neo-medieval style. Its current quadrangular plan is confined to the corners of four circular turrets; its four wings overlook an interior courtyard accessible from the east. The agricultural outbuilding (farm) which was attached to it and adjoining to the northeast, probably in the 19ᵉ century, adopts a U-shaped plan. It has an interior courtyard and includes a stable wing.

From the small village of La Touche, after a beautiful but not very easy hike (good hiking shoes 🥾 / sure-footedness) you reach this beautiful castle ruin over a rocky ridge. The well-preserved/renovated tower is open for free visits at certain times (currently: 2:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. except on Saturdays and Sundays).

This very fine example of a fortified castle is old: the keep and its enclosure date from the 12th century. The very pretty Saint-Blaise chapel is also part of the site and can be visited. From the ruins of this building, you will have a very beautiful view of the Rhône valleys and those surrounding them.

Beautiful historic site and view of the region. Good starting point or destination for hiking or mountain biking

Beautiful view on the full of Montélimar. The village of Marsanne below is very pleasant to regain strength before the pass.

Château Loubet (the old Chateau de Mas): Originally a castle-like fortified Provençal estate from the Middle Ages, from 1655 rebuilt like a castle, whereby the four medieval towers were preserved. The east and west facade and the chapel date from the 18th century, the south facade was extensively redesigned with battlements, new gables, windows and a parade balcony during the Romantic era. From 1905 it was the country residence of the former President of the Republic of France, Émile Loubet. Info from: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_B%C3%A9gude-de-Mazenc
