Valence is a commune in southeastern France, the capital of the Drome department, situated on the left bank of the Rhone, 65 miles (105 km) south of Lyon on the railway to Marseilles. Its inhabitants are called Valentinois. Valence was a part of the French Towns and Lands of Art and History, and the city received four flowers in the Concours des villes et villages fleuris.
Formerly the duchy of Valentinois, it was ruled by the Duke of Valentinois, a title which is still claimed by the Sovereign Prince of Monaco, though he has no actual administrative control over the area.Valence lies at the northernmost band of olive cultivation: the local saying a Valence le Midi commence, “at Valence the Midi begins” pays tribute to the city’s southern culture.
