Traditional oil mill in the Drôme (south of France). Tour of the mills and sample tasting at our oil bar, retail sale of PDO Nyons olive oil, PDO Nîmes olive oil, vegetable oils, and olive-based food products and cosmetics. L’Huilerie Richard is a family business of millers and peddlers, passed down from father to son for 5 generations now. L’Huilerie Richard was founded in 1885, in Mollans-sur-Ouvèze in Drôme. My great-grandfather, Henry Richard, made his own olive oil in his mill and then, with the help of his cart and his mule, he went to sell his olive oil, olive and soap production from farm to farm by peddling. Today, the traditions of peddling, local olive oil production and blended olive oils are kept alive in my beautiful French department of Drôme. In the north, in Montoison, we produce walnut oil, hazelnut oil and rapeseed oil. In the south, in Nyons, we produce PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) Nyons olive oil. Don't hesitate to stop by our mills for a visit. Patrick Richard.

On the city of Nyons and on its heights blows a wind typical of the micro-climate the Pontias. This northern wind is credited with keeping the Nyonsais air fresh and dry. The Pontias legend tells that it appeared when Césaire, bishop of Arles at the beginning of the 6th century, threw his glove against a rock in which he had previously captured a breeze by the sea. Where the glove touched the rock, the earth opened and the wind gushed out, creating the "Pontias hole".

The Notre-Dame de Réparat chapel, built at the top of Devès, owes its name to the site that surrounds it, called "la Roche" (rupis in Latin). This district is formerly occupied: its inhabitants took advantage of its belvedere location, between the plain to the west and the Baronnies mountains to the east. Already mentioned in the thirteenth century, it was associated with a hermitage but in the nineteenth century, it is abandoned and falls into ruin. The hermitage was restored about twenty years ago.

The Bourdons cliff is a site equipped for sport climbing in the 1980s and partially re-equipped in 2001.

The Devès vegetation, on its slope oriented to the south west very exposed to the sun, is particularly adapted to the hot and dry conditions: it's the scrubland. Several varieties of juniper (G. commun, G. cade, G. of Phenicia) have colonized this stony and filtering soil, where oaks and pines can not plant their roots. Their tiny leaves (thorns) and their small size are all strategies developed to limit their needs (and losses) in water.

Located between the Vaux Mountain the north and the Eygues banks to the south, contiguous to the clue (rocky around a watercourse), the town of Nyons is the gateway to the Baronnies Provencal massif by the Eygues valley.

In the center of the old town of Nyons, the church and the monastery Saint-Césaire are located on a site certainly occupied since antiquity. Above, the Forts district, with its thirteenth-century towers and its walls, is a secular neighbourhood.

Since May 20, 2022, Sylvain Volle has settled down in the kitchens of the Table du Barrès. After having cut his teeth in the brigades of Anne-Sophie Pic, in Valence, then Mathieu Viannay at La Mère Brazier, in Lyon, and finally alongside Jean Sulpice, at the Auberge du Père Bise, in Talloires (Haute -Savoie), he decided with his wife Margot to take the plunge by becoming self-employed for the first time. The couple met in 2017 in the establishment of the two-starred chef on the shores of Lake Annecy. He was a sous-chef, she an assistant head waiter. On the strength of all these cumulative experiences, Sylvain Volle thus summarizes these eight years in these great houses. ''I learned to work with chef Pic, I reviewed my classics with Mère Brazier and I discovered nature's cuisine in Talloires. In fact, it was with Mathieu Viannay and at the Auberge du Père Bise that I really took the measure of the profession."
