バルジャックの峡谷・トップ20

A majestic site that deserves respect (like everything else, for that matter). After a path and a narrower trail, you can glimpse the cave entrance, which opens almost directly onto you, just a few meters from the main path. It's fenced off. Simply continue along this path, and you'll easily find yourself in front of the cave entrance, where you'll need to crouch briefly before the cave opens up to you, revealing its shaft of light. A few very narrow passages lead to a short continuation. Full trip report, with photos, at mickaelfr.eu

Beautiful natural bridge over the Ardèche

The Pont d'Arc is a natural arch in the south of the Ardèche. The structure is at least 500,000 years old and its dimensions are impressive: 54 meters high and 60 meters wide. The water gradually penetrated the limestone rock and eventually created a huge opening to the Gorges de l'Ardèche.

This magnificent natural arch is a unique geological curiosity in the world and was drilled into the rock by the Ardèche River. It is also fun to sit on the beach and watch the canoes.

An interesting quirk of nature that reveals itself to visitors here with the "Pont d'Arc Ardèche". At the same time, this natural arch, cut through the rock by the river, is an impressive testimony to the power of the water that has dug its way through here over time.

The view of the huge stone arch is absolutely breathtaking. The adjacent stretch of beach offers new perspectives and is perfect for swimming.

A cave to visit and easy to access. In front of the entrance, you have to go to the bottom of the cave, there is a small safe passage which allows you to pass into a huge room with a hole high up which floods this cave with light. Walk and interesting visit to do with children.

The best view of the Pont d'Arc is on a canoe tour that goes under the stone arch.
