Saint-Vallier, Administrative division in Drôme department, France

Saint-Vallier stretches along the Rhône River at its confluence with the Galaure River, featuring medieval ramparts and historical architecture throughout the town.

The local castle, constructed between 1060 and 1090 by the Count of Albon, served as a military fortress with corner towers to protect against regional invasions.

The Church of Saint-Valère, dating from the 12th century, displays Roman-Byzantine architecture and contains the burial chapel of Diane de Poitiers' family.

Visitors can discover the town's heritage through QR codes placed at various locations, providing access to informative mini-videos about historical sites.

The fossil site of Montrebut hill near Saint-Vallier contains remains of the extinct badger species Meles thorali, making it important for paleontological research.
