Livron-sur-Drôme (French pronunciation: , literally Livron on Drôme; Occitan: Liuron de Droma) is a commune in the Drôme department in southeastern France. Livron was initially a rural commune. Extending over 3,817 ha, its territory comprises three zones: a small Cretaceous massif to the south-east; the remains of alluvial terraces constituting the "hillside" to the east; and a vast plain extending to the Rhone to the west. This tripartition has, for centuries, marked the life of Livron. The hillside and the plain did not offer the same agricultural possibilities in the past as they do today. The light soils of the hillsides were long preferred to the heavy soils of the plain, which required powerful tools and a large labour force. It was not until the 18th century with population growth, the use of better plows and irrigation by canals that the development of the vast Livronnaise plain really began. This enhancement then extended and developed further by combining with the commercial, artisanal and industrial development of Livron in the 19th and 20th centuries. More information...
