The pause in this masterpiece, the famous natural arch of the Pont d'Arc, 66 meters high, triumphal entrance to the gorges classed Natural Reserve since 1980. A geological perfection that already our ancestors in the Paleolithic age admired. The Chauvet cave is a stone's throw away. From springtime on, it's the setting off point for multicolored canoes or a more peaceful walk.
