Ardèche Gorges Natural Reserve
Ardèche, an exceptional territory
The Ardèche is a department but also a river that crosses a vast wild and fissured limestone plateau covered with garrigue, home to numerous botanical and animal species, and shaped by water on the edge of the southern Cévennes. This Ardèche nature conceals real geological, archaeological, and architectural treasures:
- The spectacular limestone canyon of the Ardèche with its vertiginous cliffs.
- The arch of the Pont d'Arc spanning the river.
- The Chauvet Cave or Pont d'Arc Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- The Aven d'Orgnac, an underground vertical cathedral.
- Villages of character ideally located on the water's edge, at the top of their cliffs...
We invite you to immerse yourself in this Ardèche landscape from the river's perspective, as if diving into a painting. Swimming, sailing, paddling, bivouacking, jumping, bathing, sleeping in the heart of nature by the water, all of this is discovering the Ardèche, this outdoor land to explore without moderation during your next vacation in southern Ardèche.
Your landmark: the private nautical base of CAP07 in SAMPZON, a specialist in canoe rentals and nautical activities for 10 years.
