Drôme is a sun-drenched department that acts as a gateway between the Alps and Provence. Lavender fields, hilltop villages, vineyards, and a Mediterranean climate make it a rising star among those looking for a gentler, more rural lifestyle.

​

The capital, Valence, sits along the Rhône and offers a balance of city convenience and Provençal flair. Romans-sur-Isère, with its shoe-making heritage, and Montélimar, famous for nougat, are both full of character. Further south, Nyons, Dieulefit, and Buis-les-Baronnies offer a taste of true Drôme Provençale.

​

The landscape includes the Vercors Plateau, Drôme Valley, and lavender-scented hills dotted with olive groves and vines. It’s perfect for cycling, hiking, and food lovers, with plentiful markets and local delicacies.

​

Property options include stone village houses, mas-style farmhouses, vineyard homes, and modern villas with pools. Drôme is ideal for buyers looking for sunshine, scenery, and a relaxed pace of life in southern France.
