4 day(s) / 3 night(s)
Day 1 : Stay in a beautifully renovated 16th century farmhouse high in the hills of the Drôme des Collines. Marvel in the fairy tale scenery on a Mark Twain-style paddle boat ride down the Isère River. Visit a family run walnut (a nationally endorsed local specialty) mill at the foot of the Vercors Mountains. Day 2 : Visite a local bee farm, and see exactly how honey is produced. Discover the incredible Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval, a whimsical castle constructed by a lowly postman over the span of 33 years with the stones he collected on his daily route ! Day 3 : Spend the morning with a foie gras producer in Peyus. Following a leisurely walk through the picturesque village, learn everything there is to know about duck foie gras. Finally, no holiday in the Drôme is complete without a stop in Tain l'Hermitage for a taste of the world famous Valrhona chocolate and Rhône Valley wines.
