The Levon Shant chapter is Hamazkayin's branch in Valence, in the Drome department of southeastern France. It is listed in the chapter directory of Hamazkayin Europe and carries the society's cultural and educational programme locally. Valence sits in a part of the Rhone valley with a long established Armenian presence, and the chapter gives that community a cultural base. Named after the writer and dramatist Levon Shant, it works in the same network as Hamazkayin chapters in Paris, Marseille and Hauts-de-Seine. Programme and contact information is published on the Hamazkayin Europe France page.
