Donzère, Historic commune in Drôme department, southeastern France.
This medieval town sits along the Rhône River at 86 meters elevation, covering 132 square kilometers with well-preserved ramparts, fortified gates, and traditional stone houses dating from the 15th to 18th centuries.
Roman archaeological evidence includes the Villa du Molard containing the world's largest ancient wine cellar, while medieval fortifications and the 12th-century Romanesque Saint-Philibert church showcase centuries of religious and defensive architecture.
Local traditions center around wine production heritage, religious festivals honoring Saint-Philibert, and preservation efforts by the Friends of Old Donzère Museum which displays regional artifacts chronicling the town's evolution.
The commune connects via regional roads to Montélimar and neighboring areas, offers accommodations ranging from bed-and-breakfasts to hotels, and provides tourist information at key historic sites.
The Donzère-Mondragon canal creates an artificial waterway from the Rhône River, while the 1847 Pont de Robinet suspension bridge represents 19th-century engineering achievements still functioning today.
