A cultural venue that hosts various types of live entertainment : classical and amplified music, dance, comedy, adult and children's theater. In the 19th century, Valence was a garrison town, hosting thousands of military personnel in the barracks that were gradually being built. The presence of an artillery school attracted many young non-commissioned officers and officers, sometimes with their families. The municipality regretted not having an entertainment hall worthy of this military elite. So it was decided to build a theater.

This major estate for Crozes-Hermitage wines since 1972 offers visitors a unique experience in a welcoming location. Founded en 1972, Clairmont was the dream of three families who wanted to share their passion for wellness and a job well done.

Today, eight families and fifteen winegrowers work the land alongside a team of seven people, to bring you the very best of our 120 hectares in Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Collines Rhodaniennes. Each grape harvest from the winegrowers is dealt with separately, to produce wines that are all different, but all share the same high standards and quality. Clairmont is all about working together as a team, and they are proud to 'Create Wine Together!', while keeping traditional expertise alive. It is this desire to share that inspires us to welcome you and unveil the secrets behind producing our vintage wines, through a wide range of activities!

This Moorish house confirms the 19th century enthusiasm for Orientalism. Only the facade is visible from the outside. In 1858, the industrialist Charles Ferlin purchased land on the corner of Grande Rue to build a very unusual-looking house. He had the façade decorated with a facing of moulded cement to create a clever effect featuring a combination of Oriental influences (such as arcs and floral decorations) and medieval references, including gargoyles.

Built during the beginning of the 16th century, this house gives evidence of the transition of the Flamboyant Gothic style to the Renaissance. It has been named that way because of the many heads carved on its facade, in the corridor and in the courtyard. On the front facade, winds, wealth, time and iconic characters representing theology, law and medicine are represented. On the facade, the Winds, Fortune, Time and emblematic figures such as Theology, Law, Medicine are represented. Busts of Roman Emperors Adorn the Corridor und Under The Courtyard Gallery Inner Court, The Church Fathers are figured in Medallions.Today it is home to the Valence Architecture and Heritage Interpretation department and the Valence Ville Military museum, which displays documents about Napoleon’s life in Valence.

In 1548, in the Cathedral cloisters was constructed the funerary monument of the Canon (priest) Mistral. Constructed in molasse stone, its triumphal arch shape bears witness to the increased interest in Antiquity by the Renaissance movement. Sold as national property in 1796, the crypt was used at the end of the 18th century as a cellar and cesspool. Acquired by the City, the Pendentif was one of the first listed monuments in France (1840) barely three years after the creation of the Commission des Monuments Historiques and the passage of Prosper Mérimée in Drôme.

Unique in The Rhone-alps region, this cultural site is dedicated to the World History, to civilizations that have been marked by persecution, to genocides, exiles, immigration and integration in countries of asylum. The center also reflects the history oh the people of Valence with Armenian origin. The Armenian Heritage Center is above all an original place of history which aims to provide keys to understanding the world around us. Films, multimedia, interactive maps make the permanent route lively and accessible to all. The exhibitions and animations offered throughout the year make it possible to broaden the subject and constitute real times of discussion and conviviality. The permanent exhibition brings together big and small stories about the Armenian genocide. A sensitive staging puts into perspective one of the significant episodes of the 20th century. The visitor discovers the history and culture of the Armenians through a veritable "journey" of exhibition, divided into seven sequences. More than 2,000 archival documents feed it. The public is then guided by an inventive and sensitive scenography, which exhibits the emblematic everyday objects before illustrating the genocide, the exile, then the arrival in France and the different forms of integration. Organized chronologically, this route thus offers several levels of reading and deepening: the visitor can stay at a first level of reading thanks to the general texts and illustrations, or enrich his discovery by exploiting all the mediation tools present in the scenography.

Saint-Apollinaire Cathedral is one of Valence's oldest monuments. It stands at the center of the cathedral quarter, adjacent to the ancient Paleo-Christian baptistery and the episcopal palace (now a museum) to the south. Consecrated on August 5, 1095 by Pope Urban II, it was destroyed during the Wars of Religion, then rebuilt identically in the 17th century. The cathedral has undergone numerous modifications. In the 18th century, Bishop Alexandre Milon de Mesme lavishly refurbished his church. He financed the great organ and its case, a new marble altar and decorated the walls with master paintings. The monument to Pope Pius VI, who died in Valence in 1799 as a prisoner of the Directoire, was placed in the choir. The old bell tower-porch, which threatened to fall into ruin after being struck by lightning, was replaced in the 19th century. The cathedral was listed as a historic monument in 1869.

Listed as a Historical Monument, this bandstand became famous thanks to the painter Peynet.
