Crest, Medieval keep in Crest, France.

The Tour de Crest rises 52 meters above the Drôme valley, making it the tallest medieval defense tower still standing in France.

The strategic fortress of Crest controlled access to the Pre-Alps region during medieval times, serving as a crucial military checkpoint for centuries.

The Saint-Sauveur Church stands as a memorial site commemorating the resistance movement against the December 1851 coup d'état in Provence.

The town maintains two weekly markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays, offering local products and fresh goods from regional producers.

A dedicated chocolate museum and artisanal chocolate manufacturer operate within the town, presenting various confectionery creations and production methods.
