Logis Hôtel Saint Jacques

About this stay

The building itself is the reason to stay here: a genuinely sixteenth-century structure that predates the exhibition district entirely, standing from a time when Valence's economy still ran on river trade along the Rhone. Walking distance to the old city and its historic and tourist attractions means evenings spent among the cathedral and market streets rather than driving in from the south, and Joseph Fourier University, just over two kilometres away, puts the hotel within reach of academic visits as well as leisure ones. A buffet breakfast on-site rounds out a stay built around the old town's slower pace. Anyone arriving expecting a modern chain hotel should adjust expectations accordingly, since the building's age is precisely the reason to choose it over a newer address south of the centre.
