Mirmande, a hilltop village in Drôme Provençale, a labyrinth of narrow streets and craft workshops

Why not treat yourself to a break in Drôme Provençale? Welcome to Mirmande!

Behind the ramparts, we love to wander through art galleries, cobbled streets and small, sun-drenched squares. Here, the orchards bring colour to the seasons and remind us that the village also thrives on its fruit. From the top of its hill, Mirmande offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the Rhône Valley.

Verger du Val de Drôme

In Mirmande, the church towers over the village and catches the eye, whilst the flower-lined cobbled streets and little chapels come into view as you stroll along, inviting you to linger and explore.
