04 MIRMANDE
Surrounded by pretty orchard country, this hilltop gem of stone houses and sleepy medieval streets was once a major centre of silkworm production. It then became an artistsâ colony in the 20th century, when cubist painter André Lhote made his home here. Volcanologist-cinematographer Haroun Tazieff later served as the townâs mayor, adding to Mirmandeâs cultural cachet and earning it recognition as one of les plus beaux villages de France (Franceâs prettiest villages).
With a couple of charming hotels, Mirmande makes an inviting overnight stop. Wander up to the 12th-century Romanesque Ãglise de Ste-Foy, where concerts and art exhibits are held in summertime and beautiful Rhône Valley views unfold year-round.
THE DRIVE
Snake 12km southeast on the D57 over Col de la Grande Limite (515m) into medieval Marsanne, then continue 15km southwest into Montélimar on the D105 and D6.
