A single-lane suspension bridge over the Rhône. Tip: Don't drive too close to the edge, otherwise the car behind you will feel the urge to overtake!

Montélimar, picturesquely situated on the Rhône Valley, is famous as the capital of nougat. The town grew in the Middle Ages around a 12th-century castle, which still dominates the cityscape today. Stroll through the charming old town with its arcades and cafés. A visit to the nougat factories offers sweet insights into this regional specialty. Culture, history, and culinary delights make Montélimar a worthwhile stopover in the South of France.

The Vallée du Jabron meanders through the heart of the western foothills of the French Alps, tightly embraced by mountains to the north and south. The Petit Train du Picodon once ran through the countryside from 1893 to 1936, a train that exuded more romance than speed at just under 15 km/h. The valley, which is very narrow between La Bégude-de-Mazenc and Le Poët-Laval, widens out here in both directions. Part 8 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.
