Beautiful little streets in the old town of Valence.

Over the centuries, the cathedral has undergone many changes. It was consecrated by Pope Urban II on August 5, 1095, destroyed during the Wars of Religion, and rebuilt identically in the 17th century. In the 18th century, Bishop Alexandre Milon de Mesme extensively renovated his palace and church. In particular, he financed the great organ and its case, a new marble altar, and paintings. The monument to Pope Pius VI, who died in Valencia in 1799 as a prisoner of the Directory, was placed in the choir. In the 19th century, the bell tower was struck by lightning. It was rebuilt, partly in Crussol stone, whose white color contrasted with the rest of the building, which was mainly made of molasse. The cathedral was listed as a historic monument in 1869.

The cathedral of the diocese of Valence has the rank of a minor basilica and is dedicated to Apollinaris of Ravenna. It dates from the 11th century and was rebuilt after the Huguenot Wars at the beginning of the 17th century. It has been listed as a monument historique since 1862.

Superb esplanade enriched by the Peynet kiosk. The park, below, is magnificent and encourages strolling. Do not hesitate to leave Via Rhôna and enter old Valencia, the Cathedral, the House of the Heads, the parks and alleys will enchant your trip.

This vast esplanade located in the heart of Valence is a place well known to locals. It offers a very open space in the middle of this urban habitat. In its center, the Pleynet kiosk - which dates from 1862 - is classified as a Historic Monument. From the esplanade, you can enjoy a superb view of the Jouvet park, labeled "Remarkable Garden" since 2006.

Very nicely designed place with a great view. The descent/ascent of the ViaRhôna is somewhat deficient.

Nice little park to relax in. Then continue along the Rhone by bike :)
