Cote Des Chapeliers

The hill of Chapeliers is next to the Ruf de Valence Park. It is a street going up the center, because the city is built on a high plateau, hence from there it has a strong and strategic military position. The residences of the Marquis of Veynes and families Sieyes and Saint Germain are located on the hill as well. It is where Napoleon Bonaparte where he met Louise de Saint Germain, the future wife of his Interior Minister, Montalivet. The residences are private and not open to visitors, but from the outside you can see a little bourgeois building, which demonstrates the wealth of these families from a couple centuries ago.
