Ardèche: limestone reliefs, rivers and stone villages

A right-bank Provence

West of the Rhône, Ardèche forms a transition between Provence, the Cévennes and the Massif Central. Its southern part shares with Provence the same clear stone, garrigue, olive trees, lavender and villages gathered around narrow streets.

The gorges, Pont d’Arc and rivers

The Ardèche Gorges give the department one of its strongest landscapes: limestone cliffs, viewpoints, river beaches and canoe routes around Vallon-Pont-d’Arc. Further west, the Chassezac and the area around Les Vans extend this Ardèche of rivers, trails and swimming places.

Southern villages and ancient memory

Balazuc, Vogüé, Labeaume, Alba-la-Romaine and Viviers reveal a deeply inhabited Ardèche, made of stone houses, vaulted passages, terraces and ancient traces. Grotte Chauvet 2 also gives the area a much deeper historical perspective, long before medieval villages and the old Vivarais routes.

Chestnuts, markets and nearby Cévennes

Towards the Cévennes and the chestnut landscapes, Ardèche becomes more inland in character. Cheeses, wines, honey, charcuterie, AOP chestnuts and markets give a stay a strong sense of terroir, closely tied to the surrounding landscapes.
