Knowing how well travelled the community is here I thought I’d ask for recommendations for places to visit around the Ardeche gorge, as I plan to visit next week to go hiking. Literally any recommendations are welcome, from places to see/visit to any good restaurants, as I know very little about the area. As always, any input greatly appreciated.
It is touristy but the Grotte Chauvet is worth a visit. Especially as shouldn’t yet be too busy.
Thanks alot Jane, and yes I’m really hoping the area isn’t too touristy yet, as the gorge looks absolutely marvellous and I’m sure a real magnet as the weather improves!
If you like kayaking/canoeing, you might actually get something a bit more interesting with the water being higher than in the summer months, assuming that the tours have started of course.
That’s a good idea, in fact I’m now thinking it might be interesting to hike up the gorge then kayak back down, assuming they’re open. Thanks for the suggestion ![]()
Don’t be a wimp kayak upstream and walk back.
Always feeling energetic but that may be another level
plus don’t think my partner would be my partner if I suggested that stunt ![]()
