You may prefer to stay in a holiday rental in Saint Martin de L’Ardeche, where the Ardeche Gorges come to an end. You could go and take a look at the suspension bridge, with the Aigueze medieval fortress on the horizon as well as various open air activities.

Wherever you choose to stay along the river, you’ll stay in a village full of character, such as Le Rouret or Lagorce. You could choose a village with a fascinating medieval history, Ruoms, for example, where you can explore the old village, follow the tourist trail of parades, and its spectacular view of the cliffs. You’d also enjoy yourself if you chose to stay in Labeaume or Sampzon, two picturesque and endearing villages.
