Nyons
is situated on the river Eygues, surrounded by lavender fields,
olive groves an vineyards near Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas.
The town is known for its wrinkled black olives, which are among
the best.
The town lies at 270 meters altitude, facing south between 2
mountain ranges and is thus well protected from the Mistral,
which blows through the Rhône Valley. |

The local poet Barjavel
once wrote
"The only difference between Nyons and Paradise is that here we
are all living."
One is even spared for the heat of the august sun because Nyons
has its own quit summer breeze called Pontias, which rises in
the evening, lie down in the morning and keeps the nights cool.
