What are the most beautiful places of interest in the Ardèche?

The Ardèche has many points of interest, not to be missed under any circumstances. They will satisfy nature lovers as well as sport and history enthusiasts.

The first must-see: the Ardèche Gorges. A magnificent listed site in the south of the department, the river flows between steep limestone cliffs and luxuriant vegetation, revealing numerous geological surprises, such as the famous Pont d’Arc in Vallon Pont d’Arc, which needs no introduction, or the Chauvet Cave. You can discover them on foot, by bike or even by canoe or kayak, such as the lesser-known but equally beautiful Gorges du Chassezac! Not forgetting the great site of Aven D’orgnac.

A few kilometres from our campsite in the Ardèche, in Berrias and Casteljau, you will also find the town of Aubenas and its typical villages in the surrounding area, such as Ruoms or Saint Martin d’Ardèche. Aubenas is a real postcard of the Ardèche of yesteryear, with a mix of dynamism and authenticity, and you can book a table in a great restaurant.

Nature lovers, put on your walking shoes and explore the Bois de Païolive on Ardèche plateau in the west of the department. Forest and wide open spaces await you at an altitude of 1000 m, for a complete change of scenery. A few steps away, Privas will share its gastronomic and cultural heritage with you.

Finally, 10 minutes from our campsite in the Ardèche is the village of The Vans. Traditional, it welcomes you all year round, notably for its Saturday morning market, for its starred restaurant (Likoké) but also for its vineyards and its authenticity.
