La Voulte-sur-Rhône is the starting point of the Dolce Via route. You leave ViaRhôna to cycle into the Eyrieux valley in pursuit of the old locomotives. Your adventure in the footsteps of the old railway line begins in the middle of the peach orchards where you begin a spectacular and gentle climb up the valley to Les Ollières-sur-Eyrieux. Add the view of the valley, its river, its villages perched on the other side and your ride becomes, from the first strokes of the pedals, an enchantment. And the journey has only just begun... The route is signposted "Dolce Via" and is laid out on a former railway line, alternating between greenways with gore (granite sand) or bituminous surfaces and low-traffic roads. The gradient is minimal (1%). The beautiful Corten steel railings (rusty appearance), not only aesthetic but particularly welcome to avoid any risk of falling along the many steep slopes of the route, are a reminder of the route's railway past. Be careful crossing the departmental road 120 when arriving at Les Ollières-sur-Eyrieux before reaching the station.

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.

Over the course of some 200 performances each season in its three venues and some sixty decentralised venues, more than 40,000 spectators have made the Comédie de Valence, Centre dramatique national Drôme-Ardèche, a lively and shared venue. Marc Lainé, author, director and set designer, took over as director of La Comédie de Valence, Centre dramatique national Drôme-Ardèche, in January 2020, with the ambition of making it one of the major venues for transdisciplinary creation in the service of the dramatic arts. A place for transdisciplinary creation Developing a venue for trans-disciplinary creation means multiplying the number of possible approaches to theater, whether literary, cinematographic, musical or visual... It's about wanting to surprise the audience, to thwart their presuppositions, to help them rediscover the formidable tool for understanding the world and themselves that theater can represent. It's about inviting them to reappropriate art and culture, thanks to the participative dimension that is also at the heart of the project. An artistic ensemble with complementary backgrounds Marc Lainé relies on an artistic ensemble of complementary backgrounds and aesthetics, made up of directors (Guillaume Cayet, Silvia Costa, Tünde Deak, Sarah Delaby-Rochette, Lorraine de Sagazan, Cyril Teste) whose works La Comédie produces or co-produces, and artists from all disciplines (Alice Diop, Penda Diouf, Marie-Sophie Ferdane, Alice Zeniter, Bertrand Belin, Éric Minh Cuong Castaing, Stephan Zimmerli, Neo Neo), closely associated with the life of the theater. A regional associate company From 2020 to 2024, a regional company was associated with La Comédie each season. From now on, regional companies will be associated for one term, integrating the Ensemble d'artistes pluridisciplinaires. Guillaume Cayet and Sarah Delaby-Rochette, both directors from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, are joining La Comédie's Artistic Ensemble. Made in La Comédie and partnerships The artists of the Ensemble Artistique contribute to the development of new programs designed for La Comédie de Valence, entitled Made in La Comédie: O.V.N.I. (Objets valentinois non identifiés - unidentified valentine objects), which are participative in situ creative projects that can be realized in any artistic form (graphic novel, film, radio, performance...); projects developed for and with all local audiences, including the renewal of the Comédie itinérante; research programs: the A.R.T. (Ateliers de recherche transdisciplinaire) for directors wishing to explore a particular cross-disciplinary area, and the Studios d'écriture nomades for playwrights wishing to test their text on stage during the writing process, under the watchful eye of Ensemble artists. The Théâtromaton, a mobile workshop structure, like a traveling micro-theater. The CDN's focus on its home region is also characterized by its desire to forge partnerships with all the cultural players in the area. The first season, marked by work on La Comédie to improve accessibility, has enabled us to start thinking about joint projects or links with some of them. Historical background: 1997-2000 La Comédie de Valence was founded in 1997 by actor and director Philippe Delaigue. In January 2001, director Christophe Perton was appointed co-director, giving the Comédie the status of Centre dramatique national, and bringing the Ardèche department into the fold. 2001-2009 Their first mandate saw the creation of the Comédie itinérante, a network of touring productions in the Drôme and Ardèche regions, and the establishment of a permanent troupe, active from 2001 to 2009. They are implementing an artistic policy focused on Europe, contemporary writing and commissions. Christophe Perton was appointed sole director in 2006. He has expanded his project, raising La Comédie's profile by presenting his creations nationally and internationally. 2010-2019 From 2010 to 2019, La Comédie is directed by actor and director Richard Brunel. He surrounds himself with a collective of artists committed to new creations and projects, continues to roll out La Comédie itinérante with some sixty decentralized venues, develops artistic education initiatives and gives high visibility to the CDN's creations and productions on tour in France and Europe.

The Champ de Mars bandstand was designed in 1862 by architect Eugène Poitoux and became famous in 1942 thanks to illustrator Raymond Peynet. The proliferation of bandstands in the mid-19th century was linked to the development of musical societies, choirs, and popular orchestras that performed there regularly. The first bandstand was erected in the center of the Champ de Mars in 1862. In keeping with the architectural codes of the time, it was built on a limestone base and consisted of cast iron pillars topped with a molded zinc roof decorated with lyres. Replaced in 1890 by the current bandstand, designed by Eugène Poitoux, it owes its name to the illustrator Raymond Peynet, who, while visiting Valence in 1942, created his famous “lovers.” His sketch of the bandstand sheltering a violinist and an admirer would go on to be seen around the world. In 1966, in the presence of Raymond Peynet, the bandstand in Valence was officially named and classified as a historic monument in 1982. © Service Ville Pays d'Art et d'Histoire Valence Romans Agglomération

Jouvet Park is one of Valence's must-see attractions. Your steps will naturally lead you to this 7-hectare green oasis, located in the heart of the city, below the Champ de Mars esplanade and its Peynet Kiosk. At the end of the 19th century, keen to preserve the view from Crussol hill, the municipality decided to create a public garden beneath the Champ de Mars, in the Robine district, featuring a network of canals and small gardens. Théodore Jouvet, a wealthy patron, offered the city the money needed to purchase the land, and in January 1902, the competition programme was published. Fourteen projects were submitted to the town hall. Given the high cost of the project, the city asked Alphonse Clerc, a civil engineer, and Henry Martinet, a landscape architect, to prepare a less ambitious final design and organise its implementation, which was entrusted to the Nivet company of Limoges. The park was inaugurated on 13 August 1905 by Émile Loubet, and numerous additional features were added over the decades. Since 2006, Jouvet Park has been designated a ‘Remarkable Garden’. © Service Ville Pays d'Art et d'Histoire Valence Romans Agglomération

Unusual heritage of the city of Valence, the canals testify to the past of the city Valentia. If the canal network now represents 40 km (including 17 km in the open air), it was then a vector of economic activities.

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.

The Valence Museum of Art and Archaeology, harmoniously blending ancient and modern, takes you back in time, throught the history of man and the arts, from regional prehistory to contemporary art. There are also magnificient viewing points including a unique 360° panorama over the Rhone Valley. Officially created in 1850, it has been housed since 1911 in the former episcopal palace, a vast mansion between a courtyard of honor and a private garden that retains many traces of its centuries-old history: a fortified 12th-century episcopal tower, an ogival gallery, painted ceilings from the 15th and 17th centuries, and more. Its collections, comprising more than 20,000 works, offer a broad overview of human history and the arts, from regional prehistory to contemporary art, in a redesigned layout. The Archaeology section traces the history of the civilizations that occupied the Drôme and the middle Rhône Valley, from modern times back to prehistory. The Art section, which brings together paintings, drawings, sculptures, and decorative arts, features numerous works on the theme of landscape, from its reinterpretation by contemporary artists to its “invention” in the 16th century as an autonomous genre.
