So, you are staying at the campsite l'Ardechois at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc in the southern Ardeche. Have a great time.


(Google is my friend)

if ye can afford 15 days camping there in july then yer pretty well heeled.

HOT HOT HOT my god its HOT

I will be canoeing down the Ardeche very soon once we've adjusted to the weather!
We stopped at a couple of french passion vineyards ( amazing! )

I used to teach canoeing down the ardeche, you will love it lots of nice swimming spots.. you can even swim under point d'arc.. Don't abseil off it though.. You get arrested for abseiling from a national monument..

The arc in all its glory, the campsite is on the right bank ....... recommended
