Esplanade du Champ de Mars

Highlight • Viewpoint

The large, wide square with trees and flower beds connects the old town of Valence with the Parc Jouvet and offers a wonderful view over the Rhône and the river valley. In the center of this open space is the music pavilion “Kiosque Peynet”.

Parc Jouvet, Canal de l'Epervière 🌳

Highlight • Parking

Crossing the street bridge over the two arms of the small canal and passing the Parc Jouvet (have a quick look inside, it's lovely) is the best route from downtown Valance to continue on the EuroVelo 17 ViaRhôna south. The small passage under the river highway is not shown on the Komoot map, but on OpenCycleMap, and the bike trail is signposted.

From Valence the view travels across the Rhône river to the white and colorful cliffs and the castle ruins on the opposite (western) bank of the river.

Port de l'Épervière

Highlight • Harbor

Established in 1973, the Épervière marina is the largest river marina in France. Located on a 17-hectare site with a leisure park, it has a capacity of 478 berths in a 45,000 square meter dock.

It is the largest port on the Rhône River. Located within an attractive environmental area for walkers and athletes, it is home to eight sailing clubs.
