01 Déc 2005
Tweet

In Montèlimar, capital of pleasure both of climate and nougat, Christmastime is prepared with joy and tradition and, even before tasting anything, you will be regaling your eyes with markets, museums, cribs and tales…

This stay in Drôme Provençale is baptized Fairy Christmas and makes the most of all the Christmas magic. You will be welcomed in one of the best hotels in the town which furthermore is part of the program Nice week end on the town .

The formula originality is the route notebook. You settle down in the town then you choose from among all the ideas for visits and discovery offered.

For instance, you can stroll among the Christmas market chalets, nicely installed in Montèlimar’s Provencal alleys and you will profit from the many activities particularly on Sunday, December 17th evening, open until 10 p.m.

The thirteen desserts table of the Provencal Christmas will be laid, as per tradition, from December 5th to 31st, at the Tourist agency. During the whole month of December you will be able to discover the sweet Christmas time in Provence, in the Palais des Bonbons et du Nougat (sweets and nougat palace) and in the Musèe International des Sucreries (sweets international museum).

A giant sweet box is exposed with strings of lollipops and sweets that it is not forbidden to touch and even to eat. At the exit you will be able to say The land of milk and honey exists, I went there!

Another charm of Montèlimar and not the least is the Musèe de la Miniature et de la Micro-Miniature (model and micro-model museum) (invisible to the naked eye…). There is also a temporary Barbie dolls exhibition which will take place during the year-end period. It is a doll collection dressed with special costumes, and installed in their dècor. And there, everybody is ten years old!
