A godsend to keep your children busy, all the more so since they can also go to the campsite mini-clubs, where qualified activity leaders organize a multitude of fun activities, such as scientific workshops, cookery classes, gardening or even sessions exploring biodiversity...
On the banks of the Ardèche river
The La Roubine campsite, located on the banks of the Ardèche river, welcomes guests, who can make the most of the completely private sandy beach to swim in the river, but also and especially set sail in canoes or kayaks. This enables them to go down the renowned eponymous gorge.
This starts a few hundred metres further downstream, after the river flows through the town of Vallon Pont d'Arc. Here, the landscape becomes more undulating and the gateway to the gorge is marked by the famous Pont d'Arc, a natural arch which spans the river, being more than 50 metres high and around 60 metres wide. This is followed by fabulous scenery, over more than ten or so kilometres, such as the Balcon des Templiers belvedere, or even the Cirque de la Madeleine cirque.
Although the arch is quite naturally the emblem of Vallon Pont d'Arc, this town is also known for housing one of the most beautiful caves with wall art in France but also one of the oldest in the world: the Chauvet Cave. It is not open to the public, but since 2014 you’ve been able to visit a replica of the cave.
Also note that the Ardèche has some of the loveliest villages in France (with the “Plus Beaux Villages de France” heritage designation): Balazuc and Vogüé, which are both located less than half an hour’s drive from the La Roubine campsite.
