Nyons ({{IPA-fr|njɔ̃s}}; {{Lang-oc|Niom}}) is a commune in the Drôme department in southeastern France.

History

Nyons was settled in the 6th century BC as Nyrax by a Gallic tribe, probably the Segusiavi or the Sequani. Hecataeus of Miletus mentioned Nyrax around 500 BC when writing about the Celts.

It is situated next to the river Aigues or Eygues, which is crossed by an ancient bridge.

Nyons has a very mild microclimate, which makes it a good place for people suffering from respiratory problems, for which there is a special clinic. It is famed for its olives (which have PDO status^[1]).

Nyons is a sub-prefecture of the department. It features two collèges and a lycée; as well as important shopping facilities and touristic attractions. Villages that are facilitated by Nyons are situated within an area of about 20 to {{convert|30|km|mi|abbr=on}}, such as Les Pilles, Aubres, Venterol and Mirabel-aux-Baronnies.
