On holiday in the Ardèche, book the ideal accommodation for you and your loved ones. At a campsite or a hotel, in a mobile home or a guest room, in unusual accommodation, by the river or surrounded by nature: you’re spoilt for choice for a perfect getaway!

Your choice of accommodation will mainly depend on the experience you want to enjoy in the Ardèche. If you’re after water activities during your stay, go for accommodation near or right on the river. If you’d rather go hiking or visit the villages of character, accommodation in the heart of nature or in the villages themselves is the best option.

Choosing the right accommodation in the Ardèche

Depending on the activities you have planned and the cultural visits you fancy, the best location for your accommodation in the Ardèche may vary:

  • To explore the Ardèche Gorges, see the Pont d’Arc and go canoeing, choose accommodation in Vallon-Pont-d’Arc
  • In Sampzon, holidaymakers can enjoy plenty of outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming in the river
  • In Privas, the atmosphere is peaceful: you can wander round the village markets and discover the Ardèche’s heritage at your own pace.

At a campsite in the Ardèche, choose a fully equipped mobile home for extra comfort, or a riverside pitch for a more authentic experience close to nature.

Beach on the banks of the Ardèche river

From your accommodation in the Ardèche, and depending on its location, you can plan the activities and visits for your holiday:

  • In Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, make sure your itinerary includes the Ardèche Gorges and the Pont d’Arc, and above all a visit to the Grotte Chauvet 2 with the children! As for the one activity you simply can’t miss, it’s a canoe or kayak trip down the river
  • In Sampzon, in the south of the Ardèche, you can just as easily reach the river for swimming or canoeing, stroll around the nearby villages of character, or head out on the hiking trails to reconnect with nature
  • In Privas, in the centre of the Ardèche, green surroundings and tranquillity reign. Discover its unspoilt heritage and some of the most beautiful villages in France, as a couple or with the family.
