• In winter: it’s time for black truffles, the treasure of the Drôme, France’s leading producer, from January to February. Of course, winter is also the perfect time to take advantage of the Vercors or Ardèche editing stations.

But you can also take advantage of the many rivers to cool off or practice more sporting activities such as canoeing and kayaking, festivals are numerous…
• Autumn is traditionally the time of harvest, of course, which enlivens the whole territory, but also more generally of gastronomy, and it is an understatement to say that from this point of view also, choice and quality are at the rendezvous…. In November, it is the olive, specificity of our territory, which is harvested.
