Ardèche is the most famous department in the Rhône Alpes region and the greenest area of Southern France. Known for its picturesque natural landscapes and lovely villages.

You can experience the untouched nature by foot, but the real enthusiasts do it through the many rivers in a canoe. The Gorges de l’Ardeche is a gorge that runs from Vallon-Pont-d’Arc to Saint-Martin d’Ardeche. A real attraction and a must for canoeists and kayakers. For many, this activity is an experience, never to be forgotten.

The diverse nature of the Ardèche is what attracts many admirers. Volcanic locations, such as Gerbier de Jonc, the waterfall of Ray Pic and the many caves are just a start. Here you’ll find hills, lakes and gorges that are known worldwide. In the Ardeche your eyes won’t get enough.

If you like to stroll along markets, the many possibilities in the charming villages will certainly stimulate your senses. Discover the flea market in Aubenas, the evening market in Joyeux or the smells and colours in the heart of Les Vans.
