Puy-Saint-Martin

Small village in the Drôme Provençale, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Puy-Saint-Martin takes place about fifty kilometers from Valence. It is located not far from Montélimar, Dieulefit and Crest.

Installed at the crossroads of the Manas and Montélimar roads, the town has developed since Antiquity, as evidenced by the tools, mosaics and other shards found on site. Property of the barony of Garde-Adhémar in the Middle Ages, Puy-Saint-Martin has developed over the centuries around its castle. From this past, this city in the south of France has preserved several vestiges to discover during a stroll.
