It's worth deviating off the GTA mountain biking route here. Not only a swim in the clear warm waters of the famous Ardèche river, but also to visit the tourist-filled Vallon Pont d'Arc and restock on supplies.

small village with a fortified section. Very pretty and very well maintained; we loved it!
