We've added a page for Saint Paul-Trois-Chateaux, a Medieval walled town in the Drôme departement, that will be a stage for the 2011 Tour-de-France cycling race.
The town has a lot of interesting sites, including some nice gargoyles on the 12th-century cathedral. Saint Paul-Trois-Chateaux was not named for "three castles", but probably as a bad translation of "Tri-castin", the name of the Pre-Roman tribe that resided in this area.
This is the region of truffles, and nearby towns include Bollène, Richerenches and Valréas.
