THE ARDECHE

Where time stands still ...

The Ardèche … one of France's best-kept secrets.
An unspoilt place of astonishing natural beauty
with a multiplicity of landscapes that change dramatically every few miles,
fascinating historical interest from the early age of Man through the present,
where people are genuinely kind to strangers,
and the food, the wine and life are good …

Come and enjoy with us our unspoilt fauna and flora,
and the ever changing kaleidoscope of our weekly food markets,
antiques and crafts fairs, historical and folk museums.
Participate in traditional fêtes champêtres, country festivals celebrating
violets, cattle, harvest time. Take part in lake and river water sports
or rock climbing in summer, and skiing in winter.
Explore the volcanic landscapes on four wheel drive safaris
or on the original means of transport,
the humble donkey as used by Robert Louis Stevenson.
View prehistoric grottoes and cave paintings.
Discover small villages with plenty of architectural interest,
attend concerts in Romanesque churches, performances in local theatres
and openings of art exhibitions.
Leisurely pick your own fruit,
gather mushrooms and chestnuts, become an expert on the local cuisine,
join the locals in their favourite restaurants,
and enjoy wine tastings with local vintners.
Learn all about the Ardèche, World Capital of the Chestnut
[did you know that virtually all bottled, preserved, canned chestnuts and marrons glacés
you can buy at home come from here?]
