With its beautiful countryside and unique sights, the Ardèche is a fantastic tourist destination. The south of Ardeche, in which Vallon Pont d'Arc is located, is Provençal, i.e. extremely sunny. There are limestone plateaus with green oaks, lavender and olive trees, caves and the Beaume, Chassezac and Ardèche rivers.
The rivers are suitable for any rowing pleasure, from calm waters for beginners to extreme waterfalls for the daredevils. It is possible to go on an adventurous canoe trip of 8 or 34 km with the spectacular subway through the famous ancient arch bridge in Vallon. This excursion can be booked at the reception of the villa park; you will be picked up and brought or you can start at the bottom of the villa park.
The river Ardèche can be reached on foot from the park in about 2 minutes via a good and decent staircase. You can visit numerous villages such as Vals le Bains, Ruoms, Largentiere, St Remeze, Aubenas and Barjac.
The nice and cosy Vallon Pont d'Arc is about 3 km from the villa park and is a tourist village with summer crowds and many restaurants, cafés and terraces. Also in the immediate vicinity of the park there are a number of restaurants within 1-1.5 km that can be reached on foot.
Villa "VIVARAIS" was assessed in February 2023 and awarded 4 stars by the independent French body "Classement Meubles de Tourisme" - FNAIM and CEIF.
