OFFICE DE TOURISME DE LA VALLOIRE

In the north of the department, Therefore is a brand-name of the Valloire, a region rightly presented as the northern entrance of Drôme. Around a large valley where water flows in abundance from the hills of the Chambarans to the Rhone, has built a culture apart. Although Méconnu was unknown, Therefore was still very important in the Middle Ages, while her castle was the head of the seigneury. The counts of Therefore lived over two centuries ago and created the Dauphiné. History will turn short when Dauphin II, completely ruined, will leave the Dauphiné to France in 1349. Today, with the proximity of the large channels of eleven communication, but in a department of Drôme which'provençalise'a little too much to the liking of some, one might fear «that there is no Albonnais at the number requested» because Therefore has much to do to value a still generous land in the kingdom of olive oil and picodon. However, at the same time as its villages and neighbouring villages, we discover a particularly attractive culture which lies in the originality of the peaks and galets architectures and the softness of a hilly hinterland.
