'''The valley''' is a significant geographical location in [[Rayman]]'s world. It is located on a small island known only as '''Rayman's island''', and the two names are sometimes used interchangeably. It is the home of Rayman's species of limbless creatures. It has been speculated that Rayman's island is part of the [[Archipelago]] which exists off the coast of [[the Glade of Dreams]].

Several ''Rayman'' games are set within the valley. [[Rayman 1|The original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|its handheld adaptation]], [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|an early 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']], [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance platformer version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], ''[[Rayman Bowling]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'''s [[2D Madness]] and [[2D Nightmare]] minigames all ostensibly take place in or around the valley. In late 2009, concept art for [[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled ''Rayman 4'']] surfaced which revealed that [[Ubisoft|the developers]] were considering the idea of having some, if not all, of the series's fourth installment take place in the valley.

The first trailer for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' reveals that [[Rayman]] was born in ‘the Primordial Forest’. This was the original French name for [[Pink Plant Woods]], the first level of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] – the name ‘Pink Plant Woods’ was invented by the translators responsible for the game's English-language localisation. ''Rayman Origins'' itself features several environments, such as the [[Jibberish Jungle]] and the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], which bear a strong resemblance to locations in the valley; however, the game's world map shows that they are located on a series of islands referred to as [[the Glade of Dreams]] (although it does not match the map of the same name that accompanied ''Rayman 2''). It is not clear if these locations are intended to be part of the valley.
