Valence (Occitan Valença) is a commune in southeastern France, the capital of the department of Drôme, situated on the left bank of the Rhône, 65 miles south of Lyon on the railway to Marseille. Its inhabitants are called Valentinois or the Valentinoises. 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.
