Read customer reviewsSleep in Vallon-Pont-d’Arc or stay in Saint-Montan
To choose your accommodation, start from your program: activities every day around the Pont d'Arc, or a stay shared between swimming, villages and rest? The routes will be different depending on your starting point.
Vallon-Pont-d'Arc is suitable for a stay focused on the Gorges and village services. Saint-Montan also allows you to discover Viviers, the Rhône valley and the villages of South Ardèche, by planning travel by car.
What the center really provides
The center gives immediate access to the entertainment and certain activity departures. It is practical in small doses, especially for a short stay.
What weighs more in high season
Over 4 to 7 days, we much appreciate accommodation that lets the stay breathe: a return to calm, dining outside, easier parking, a more flexible pace with children or after a busy day.
Organize a day in Vallon from your gîte
From the Mas, it takes around 40 minutes to Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, excluding summer traffic. For a canoe trip, check the address and meeting time with the rental company: the departure of the activity may be located elsewhere than in the center.
Simple access to major spots
The Pont d'Arc, the descents of the Ardèche, the Grotte Chauvet 2 and the most popular villages remain accessible without turning accommodation into a logistical constraint.
Calm, swimming pool and more pleasant return from the day
After a morning outside or a day canoeing, we benefit much more from an area with a swimming pool, terrace and a calmer atmosphere than from accommodation that is only well located on paper.
