The Foundry in Drôme


>>THE FONDERIE BARTHELEMY IS LOCATED IN DROME A CREST

The city of Crest is famous for its dungeon; culminating at 52 meters, it is France’s tallest. This tower is the only remains of an imposing castle destroyed by Louis XIII, who found it potentially dangerous. The tower part having been spared, served as a prison which successively housed libertines, Protestants during the wars of religion, and opponents of Louis Napoléon Bonaparte’ coup d’état.

The Tower [ tourdecrest.fr ] can be visited year round for guided tours, various activities, exhibitions, concerts, abseiling …
But as interesting as old stones are, they are not the region only attraction !

The Drôme Valley is an eco-system where a predominantly sunny climate illuminates an exceptional natural heritage, where cultural and sporting activities abound, not to mention the local gastronomy!
