Southern Ardeche

The southern Ardèche conceals unparalleled natural landscapes: the Gorges of the Ardèche and the Gorges of the Cèze. The country has been inhabited by men since the dawn of time. They have left in the Chauvet Cave an artistic treasure of inestimable value. Benefiting from a Provençal climate in its southern part, the Ardèche offers a rich range of outdoor activities. Its historical and architectural heritage and its terroir rival those of its neighbouring region, Provence.
