We visited the Gorge D’Ardeche today. This is a driving tour with Valons-pont-d’arc at one end and St. Martin d’Ardeche at the other. We did the route in that order and stopped at some amazing belvederes (viewing points) seeing some amazing views of the gorge including the natural Pont d’Arc.
After lunching in the car we visited the stunning natural caves – Aven D’Orgnac. These caves are millions of years old but only discovered a few centuries ago. We walked down hundreds of steps, stopping at 7 points to observe the incredible rock formations including many stalactites and stalagmites. Thankfully there was a lift to bring us back up the 121 metres to the surface!
We rounded off the day with a wonderful dinner in Barjac at a little restaurant, followed by a couple of beers at the snack bar in our part of the campsite.
