Nyons, Medieval village in Drôme, France
Surrounded by mountains and low hills, Nyons stands near the Eygues River with a Roman bridge featuring an 18-meter-high single arch.
The settlement emerged in the 6th century BC under the name Nyrax, founded by Gallic tribes and documented by Hecataeus of Miletus around 500 BC.
Nyons received France's first AOC appellation for olives and olive oil, with multiple mills offering tastings of local products throughout the town.
The town maintains two weekly markets on Thursday and Sunday mornings, where visitors can purchase regional products at Place du Docteur Bourdongle.
The Tour Randonne, built in 1280, contains a three-story pyramid with a Virgin Mary statue and houses a small chapel with bright decorations.
