Itinerary

Getting to the Area:

The Ardèche is in the south of France between the central mountains and the river Rhone, just north of the Mediterranean. We are in the south of the department near to the town of Vallon Pont d’Arc. Nearby cities with high speed rail terminals or international airports are Nimes (1hr), Avignon (1 hr), Montpellier (1.5 hrs), Lyon (2hr), Marseille (2hr) and Beziers (2hr). (driving times).

Evasion Travel is a licensed private transport operator and airport pick-ups and local transportation can easily be arranged.

Lagorce is a village in an excellent location. There are fantastic experiences and adventures to be had in every direction. Evasion Travel runs most of its Ardèche activity holidays from here.

Canoeing on the Ardeche River is very popular

To the south of Lagorce is Vallon Pont d’Arc, gateway to the fabulous Gorges de l’Ardèche National Park. The gorge is hugely popular with canoeists and walkers. The River flows through 32km of deep canyons and stunning natural features including the fascinating Pont d’Arc. The small rapids on the river make for an exciting trip that is manageable for any confident swimmer over the age of 7.

To the west, the Ardèche river widens and turns North towards the market town of Ruoms. There are excellent sites for climbing in this region as well as picturesque villages and wonderful riverside beaches.

To the north is the steam train town of Vogüé and the administrative centre at Aubenas. The landscape changes rapidly as the traveler works north and west as the high granite mountains of the Massif Centrale emerge from the horizon.

To the east lies the babbling Ibie river – almost dry in the summer but for the chattering of water beneath the rocks that emerges into cool pools for escaping the summer heat. Beyond the river is the St Remeze forest with miles of walking trails, botanical exhibitions and nature reserves. The prolific peak of the Dent du Rez stands guard over the hotel and beyond.
