Saint-Vallier, Administrative division in Drôme department, France

Saint-Vallier is a town in the Drôme department situated where the Rhône River meets the Galaure. Medieval ramparts run through the settlement, and historic buildings shape its appearance.

A local castle was built between 1060 and 1090 as a military stronghold with corner towers to defend against regional threats. This fortress shaped the settlement's strategic importance in the area.

The Church of Saint-Valère displays Romanesque-Byzantine architecture with a family chapel inside. The interior reveals artistic details from different periods that visitors can observe.
