The Ardeche Gorge is impressive, for sure. A snaking 32km stretch of river with dramatic limestone pillars and cliffs, prehistoric caves (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and the massive arch of the Pont d’Arc. Unfortunately, I just found it a touch dull and a let down compared to the spectacular scenery only a couple of hours away in the Alps. It’s worth it if passing through, but wouldn’t go massively out the way to experience it.
My main tip though – we drove it, which, again, was nice. But I imagine a day kayaking down it would be a different experience all together.
