Pont d'Arc

Highlight • Beach

Icon of the Ardèche gorges, the bridge is a must. You can clearly see that the Ardèche River has gradually worn down the limestone rock and cut through it to create this impressive bridge that defies gravity. The Cirque d'Estre is of course the old course of the river which is now dried up and cut off after the river diverted. A geography lesson in 3D!

Highlight • Gorge

The Pont d'Arc is a natural stone bridge over the Ardèche River in the Ardèche department of southern France. It is 60 meters long, 54 meters high and is located about three kilometers from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc in the direction of Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche.

The Pont d'Arc was created when the Ardèche broke through the natural barrier of the limestone rock at the narrowest point of a river bend, the Cirque d'Estre, in the Old Pleistocene and drained the Cirque d'Estre.[1] Firmer rock above was not removed, so that the breakthrough was preserved as a stone bridge arch.

Great views. Even if the hiking trails in the mountains are not always easy.

Highlight • Viewpoint

An incredibly beautiful view towards pont D'arc. However, the vantage point is not for people who are afraid of heights.

View of the Pont d'Arc

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a view of the Pont d'Arc, a natural arch, 54 meters high. This passage over the Ardèche was formed more than 120,000 years ago by karst erosion.

The Pont d'Arc is well known to kayakers, swimmers and diving enthusiasts.
