Montélimar is a sleepy Provençal town on the banks of the Rhône River. The old town is a labyrinth of narrow streets and squares lined with restaurants, cafes and shops. The highlight is the 14th-century Château des Comtes de Toulouse, which has a beautiful moat and gardens. The château is now a museum with exhibits on the history of the town. The Tour de l’Horloge, a 16th-century clock tower, is also worth a visit. For a taste of the local produce, head to the market on Place de la République, where you can buy olive oil, wine, cheese and sausages.
