Nice climb and magnificent bridges

The Queen's Staircase is carved into the volcanic rock. A superb view of the surrounding mountains awaits you at the top of the 215 steps. The magnificent Royal Ladders circuit takes you to discover the Devil's Bridge as well as the Queen's Ladder and the King's Ladder.

A pleasure for the eyes and the head as much as for the legs: asphalt in good condition, almost no cars and a magnificently wild, mineral and steep valley... up to the Col de l'Echelette if you feel like it, the show is worth it!

La Beaume, a tributary of the Ardèche, is a 40km long river which originates in Loubaresse at an altitude of 1190m, from a multitude of steeply sloping streams flowing down the sides of mountains planted with forests, overlooking the valley. . The whole valley and the Beaume gorges offer pretty sandy and rocky beaches to fully enjoy swimming.

This walk starts very hard and certainly does not make it easy. Very beautiful on the other hand.

This magnificent stone bridge overlooks the Ardèche River at the foot of the village of Thueyts, 45 minutes from Vallon Pont d'Arc. 17 m high, it is an emblematic place of the Ardèche to discover. According to legend, the bridge was built under the inspiration of the devil, for the destruction of the souls of the young people of the village, who wanted to cross to the other side to hide their guilty loves, slipped into the abyss. "And on days when the river's current swells, we sometimes think we hear their desperate cries mixed with the rumbling of the water"

The water under the bridge is deep. You can jump from the rocks towards the beach. Caution cold!

There is little traffic here. Beautiful route.
