The heady scents and sounds of a holiday in Provence
Emmanuelle & Michael
3-star campsite at Grignan in the southern Drôme between Montélimar and Nyons, heated pool, family activities and evening entertainment, touring pitches, mobile homes and fully equipped tents for rent
Camping Les Truffières, Drôme - Southern Drôme, Grignan and the Enclave des Papes
Set amid abandoned truffle fields and century-old oaks in the southern Drôme, the campsite is a haven of peace complete with heated swimming pool and large, shady pitches. Hiring a bike on site is a great way to explore the local Grignan countryside and its stunning lavender fields. The Enclave des Papes region is home to a number of lovely hilltop villages and chateaux including Adhémar-Montélimar, Suze-la-Rousse, La Garde-Adhémar, Vinsobres, Valréas and Nyons – all well worth a visit. In the words of 17C literary icon and letter writer Madame de Sévigné, the area offers really does offer a “unique panorama”.

Well worth a visit Nearby Camping Les Truffières Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
A (free) tour of the Musée Découverte du Sirop Eyguebelle, a cordial factory and liqueur distillery that makes natural cordials using local fruits. The visits ends with a chance to sample and buy its products.
Something different
A day at Pierrelatte Crocodile Farm. Home to a range of fish, snakes and other reptiles, this tropical wildlife park offers a range of activities including the chance to watch feeding time and documentaries as well as games, storytelling and craft sessions.
Don’t miss
A visit to the Château de Grignan, set on a rocky outcrop above the village. Built in the C11 and inhabited until the C17 by the famed Madame de Sévigné, today it enjoys listed status and houses a museum that retraces 1000 of history. Open all year.
Walking/cycling route
Enjoy a 2/3 hour stroll through the village of Grignan to the chateau, which offers magnificent views of Mont Ventoux, the Montagne de la Lance and the Dentelles de Montmirail. Continue with a tour of the Durance perfume factory, the Village Provençale Miniature, peopled with traditional nativity crib figures, and finally the Domaine de Montine winery. Alternatively, take a 4h bike ride along the cycle paths that criss-cross the Bois du Rouvergue in search of the bories or dry-stone huts scattered amongst the old truffle fields and juniper scrub.
Driving route
Spend a day in the charming village of Nyons, whose historic centre is home to a traditional Provencal market every Sunday morning from May to September. Visit the Bleu Provence distillery dedicated to lavender and other aromatic plants. This visitor centre guides you though the botany, cultivation, history and distillation of Provence’s famous aromatic plants. And don’t miss the Scourtinerie, the last factory producing scourtins de Provence, coir mats of every size and shape available in a range of typical Provencal colours.

Wine route
The vineyards of Grignan-les-Adhémar sit amid a patchwork of lavender fields, olive groves and sweet-smelling thyme in the heart of the Rhône Valley. Les Truffières makes a great base for exploring the area and sampling its generous, easy-drinking AOC wines, nurtured by the Provencal climate. A host of local wineries offer cellar tours and wine tastings.
