Places to see in ( Valence - France ) Chateau de Crussol
The Château de Crussol is a mostly-ruined 12th century limestone castle in the commune of Saint-Péray that dominates the valley of Rhône, just opposite Valence in the Ardèche département, Rhône-Alpes région of France.
Located over the peak of the hill of Crussol, at the edge of a cliff over 200 metres above surrounding plain, the castle overlooks Saint-Péray in the west, and Guilherand-Granges and Valence in the east. The site comprises about 3 hectares, including the Vilette, a small hamlet of about a hundred houses, and the castle itself at the top of the hill. The entire grounds are enclosed by ramparts that are still quite visible.
The hill of Crussol has been occupied since Roman times. Initially, it was the site of a temple, which was subsequently extended with a fortified building to the south in the course of the 5th century, but was abandoned in later centuries for the present site. The first fort, probably built in the 10th century, was made of wood and was destroyed in a fire. It was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century, by a lord named Gerald Basset, in order to control the existing transportation route along the Rhône River.
At the end of the 15th century, the Crussols were linked by marriage to the Uzès. The castle was abandoned for the more comfortable Château d'Uzès. During the Religious Wars, the castle was taken and set afire on several occasions by various warlords. It was finally sacked in the 17th century. On September 3, 1855, a mine explosion in the quarry under the castle destroyed part of the building. Lightning further destroyed part of the keep in 1952.
The site was classified as an official historical monument of France (French: monument historique) in 1927. The commune of Guilherand-Granges bought the ruins in 1984, even though the site is technically within the boundaries of the commune of Saint-Péray. The inter-communal syndicate of these two communes and Soyons are jointly engaged in the restoration of the castle.

Places to see in ( Valence - France )
Valence is a city in southeast France. It’s home to St-Apollinaire Cathedral, dating from the 11th century. The Valence Museum offers art and archaeology displays, plus views over the Rhône Valley. Jouvet Park features canals and a rose garden. Carved heads adorn the 16th-century Maison des Têtes. Across the Rhône River are the medieval Château de Crussol and the Soyons Archaeological Site, with its caves and museum.
Capital of the Drome department, Valence is a sleepy city overlooking the Rhone River. An hour from Lyon and Grenoble and in close proximity to vineyards producing Crozes Hermitages, St Joseph and St Peray wines, the city makes a wonderful stop off for wine tours of the region. The much-loved Kiosk De Peynet stands on the Champ de Mars and is one of the highlights of this small city - and a good place to start your visit. This ornate bandstand with beautiful views of the decorative gardens and fountains of Park Jouvet below, the Rhone and further Chateux Crussol high up in the distance inspired the artist Peynet to base his romantic love story here.
For those interested in the more historical sights, Valence old town boasts the Maison de Tetes, a 16th century house whose facade, corridor and inner courtyard are decorated with the sculped figures including heads of Ancient Greek nobility and, on the facade, the winds, time and fortune as well as law, theology and medicine are represented. Close by are also the roman cathedral of St Appolinnaire containing features unique to the Rhone region and The 'Pendentif', an ornate funeral monument to Canon Mistral erected in 1548. A walk along Grand Rue and its surroundings takes in all of these sights and offers a wonderful chance to view the quaint cafes and boutiques that line the narrow medieval streets.
Despite it’s large student population, Valence nightlife is notably quiet. However, from the more traditional (if touristic) restaurants around Place des Clercs serving Provencal dishes and Drome specialities, to the more varied tastes such as Greek, Indian, Tex Mex and Chinese around Place de la Pierre and Place St Jean, there is always something to satify your apetite.
Enjoying a leisurely lunch in the sunny market square is a must. Valence is also home to the gastronomic experience that is Pic, a 3 star restaurent owned by internationally renowned chef, Anne Sophie Pic. A wide selection of cafes and bars are scattered throughout the centre, along with 2 small nightclubs.
For those in search of something more unusual, a short journey should be made to the surroundings of Valence to the Jean Perdrix park. At the centre of this large green space are the two giant ‘Water Castles’, standing at over 50 metres above the water. These award winning examples of 1970s architecture are one of the lesser known features of Valence.

Musée de Valence
Maison des Têtes

The city was amazing, I have returned twice. To see a brief history of Valence I put together click here: . Please let me know if I made any mistakes or have left anything out.

Castle of Crussol-Ardèche-France Filmed With My Drone-Mavic2pro- Ruines Crussol filmées par un drone
Les ruines du château de Crussol en Ardèche ( région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) sont très impressionnantes ! Elles se trouvent sur la commune de Saint-Peray ( bien connue pour les amateurs de vins blancs),à seulement 6 kms au nord/ouest de la ville de Valence( (Drôme ) ; ensuite il suffit de monter un peu en voiture vers le parking du château ( gratuit ) et ensuite continuer à pied ( compter env.20mn d'ascension )
Filmée avec mon drone MAVIC 2 PRO. Je suis télépilote amateur mais certifié et officiellement enregistré auprès de la DGAC ( N°EXPLOITANT: ED10740 )
The ruins of the fortress of Crussol are located just outside the little town of Saint-Peray ((famous for its sparkling white wine-Rhône valley wines) within the department of Ardeche ( region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in France ). I filmed them with my drone ( Mavic 2 Pro ) . Those ruins are quite impressive, overlooking the valley of the Rhône river (1100ft ); The fortress was built during the 11th-12th C. and mainly destroyed during the religious wars ( 16th C. ).
Yet the remaining ruins give us an idea of the size of the former fortress and the village located at the foot of the keep ! Not to be missed during your stay in Ardeche-Drôme region !
I am officially registered as a professionnal drone pilot in France under the registration Number : ED10740 (DGAC for French Civil Aviation Authority ).

Exploring a Huge Medieval Town with Castle | Castle of Crussol
Welcome to one of the most beautiful medieval sites here in the Ardèche region. Here at Crussol we can find the ruins of a medieval castle and its town which is completely encircled by a stone wall with ramparts. Inside you can find the remains of 140 houses complete with blacksmith, artisans and traders. The complex is entirely made out of local white limestone, almost giving it a Minas Tirith kinda vibe with all that white. As you climb higher and higher the panorama over the valley unfolds. Crussol is located on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the Rhône river and because of that, it had an important strategic function. The top of the rock is crowned by the remains of the lord’s castle. It has sadly partly collapsed due to quarrying in the area. Nonetheless this is a must visit castle if you ever find yourself in the area. Thanks for watching!

In the Vineyard: Domaine Vallot Vinsobres - Southern Rhône - French Wine Panorama
Domaine Vallot sits in the southern Côtes du Rhône village of Le Coriançon,
with vineyards planted on the hills above the winery at an altitude reaching 450m within the appellation of Vinsobres.
Vinsobres red wines were granted their own appellation status as an AOC in 2006. The village had previously been under the Côtes du Rhône Villages umbrella since 1967. The white and rosé wines of the village are sold under the Côtes du Rhône designation.
High altitude vineyards surround Vinsobres, running for 10km on the south-east facing limestone slopes which mark the beginning of the Alpine foothills. This privileged position at higher altitudes affords a mild microclimate throughout the year with the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux as a backdrop, which lends wines from the region great freshness and complexity from a longer vegetative maturation cycle. The soils here are rocky and rich in limestone, but there are also patches of sandy soil. Vinsobres sits at a higher elevation than neighboring Gigondas or Vacqueyras, which is a key concept for the definition of the appellation and what sets them apart: freshness and finesse.

L’automne, la belle saison qui nous en met plein la vue ! Le moment idéal pour rejoindre les sentiers colorés de Provence et admirer la nature et ses jolis camaïeux jaunes et rouges. Cap sur les Dentelles de Montmirail où les vignes sont flamboyantes et les chemins appellent à la découverte !
