Provencal Authenticity and Hospitality
Located in the northwest of Provence, on the right bank of the Rhône and extending to the Cévennes, Ardèche is a unique destination that combines a typically sunny Mediterranean climate with incomparable natural, cultural, and gastronomic richness.
In the southern part of Ardèche, the landscapes resemble those of Provence, with their lavender fields, olive trees, and sunlit cliffs. This part of the region is an invitation to escape and discover.
The natural beauty of Ardèche is breathtaking, especially in the Gorges de l'Ardèche, an iconic location that attracts thousands of visitors every year. These spectacular gorges, with their steep cliffs and crystal-clear waters, are perfect for outdoor activities such as canoeing, hiking, and climbing. Don’t miss the Gorges du Chassezac near Les Vans, which offer equally enchanting and varied landscapes.
Ardèche is also rich in architectural heritage. Its stone villages perched on hills, such as Balazuc, Vogüé, and Labeaume, are among the most beautiful villages in France. These architectural gems, nestled on the hillsides, rival the charm of the villages in the Luberon.
When it comes to gastronomy, Ardèche delights food lovers. It is renowned for its exceptional local produce, including aged cheeses, sun-drenched wines, artisanal charcuterie, fragrant honey, and of course, the famous Ardèche chestnuts, which are AOP-certified and used in many traditional recipes.
Ardèche is a destination that indulges all the senses. Whether you are a nature lover, history enthusiast, sports enthusiast, or foodie, every moment spent here is an invitation to discovery and relaxation. Let yourself be surprised by this region, which is both wild, welcoming, and full of charm.
