Drôme, a department in southeastern France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, has long been a land of passage and asylum. It owes its name to the river that flows through it. It was a territory of resistance against Nazism and a refuge for persecuted Jews, and the Vercors massif still bears the scars of this. Divided into 5 cantons, the region's hilly and mountainous landscapes are ideal for walks and hikes. Its cultural and economic richness is well established. On your travels, you'll be able to admire the architectural beauty of certain sites, visit ancestral know-how sites or picturesque villages.
