Prehistoric Lodge (Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels
"The French aren’t much for themed hotels, save for the collection of Americana-inspired resorts around Disneyland Paris. But in the case of Prehistoric Lodge, a luxury hotel located a stone’s throw from the Ardèche Gorges and the famed cave paintings at Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc, a wilderness lodge theme works especially well. You’re here, after all, to hike, raft, and view ancient art by the glow of flashlights. Why not stay in a tented camp, cuddling up beneath a fur throw as you fall asleep to the sounds of nature? The lodge offers simple guest rooms, each with a terrace overlooking the Ardèche River, and freestanding tents, each with a private bathroom and an open-air patio. Luckily, you won’t cook your own food over an open flame: the hotel’s restaurant organizes al fresco barbecues and packs gourmet picnic baskets for day trips around the region’s natural wonders." - Tablet Hotels
