Top 10 places of interest

1. Pont D'Arc
   It took the river Ardèche thousands of years to create a 66 metre high arc, carving out a solid limestone rock. Nowadays, this place is known as Pont d'Arc and one can canoe underneath the arc.
2. Caverne du Pont d'Arc (Grotte Chauvet)
   The oldest caves in the world with preserved wall paintings.
3. Gorges d'Ardèche
   This gorge with a length of several miles displaying rough rock walls is also the creation of the river Ardèche. This is the right place for adventurous walks with spectacular views.
4. Mont Ventoux
   
5. Aven d'Orgnac
   The Ardèche is also the home of one of the vastest caves in the world. The Aven d’Orgnac has a number of impressive open spaces packed with stalagmites and stalactites.
6. Waterfalls of Sautadet
   
7. Mont Gerbier de Jonc
   The volcano Mont Jerbier-de-Jonc is no longer active, but it is still the centre of one of the most rugged landscapes of the Ardèche. The volcano forms a high hump in the mainly flat land scape and is, therefore, a fantastic viewing point
8. Balazuc
   Experts say that this is one of the most beautiful villages in France. It profits from its position: Balazuc is in the middle of a green valley. The narrow cobblestone alleys, the stone arches in the streets and the Roman church contribute to the charming view of the village
9. Vals-les-Bains
   Vals-les-Bains is situated at the bottom of a young volcano. The specialty of this community is the wells with carbonated water. These are believed to be healing.
   This water is also bottled and exported.
10. Uzès
    Every Saturday a local market is held on Place aux Herbes in the characteristic centre of Uzès. This market is famous and a range of regional products is displayed.
