Donzère is a commune of the Drôme department in the Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France. It is a town located in the south of Drôme and on the left bank of Rhône river, next to Montélimar. ==Geography== The name of the townusually refers to the Donzère-Mondragon canal, which is an important artificial derivation of the Rhône. Donzère is also known for its gorge, which is the last shrinkage of the Rhône valley before its course joins Mediterranean sea. For the anecdote, the "Robinet", place name of the Donzère gorge where the Rhône shrinks because of the cliffs, derives its name of a former landowner: Robin Berton nicknamed Robinet. It is usually admitted by geographers and climatologists that the Donzère gorge, along about , signals the northern boundary of the mediterranean climate in the Rhône valley. So, Donzère marked during a long time the northern boundary of the olive groves, but in recent years and consequence of the global warming, this limit seems slightly back northward next to the Cruas gorge, on the north of Montélimar. Somewhat protected from mistral thanks to its hills located in the north, the village opens on the plain of Tricastin where born the mediterranean ambiance and cultivations. The privileged location of Donzère in the Rhône valley (high place of passage) surely explain its recent economic and demographic dynamism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donzère」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
