Parc naturel régional des Monts d'Ardèche

7 Destinations in France Where the French Love to Go

"A scenic natural park popular for hiking and outdoor pursuits, with half-day loop walks from nearby villages that pass ruins of centuries-old farms and sweep through the Volane valley. In autumn the area is noted for its chestnut production, while summer draws visitors to a dramatic southern gorge with a natural stone bridge where kayaking, canoeing, swimming and cliffside exploration are common activities." - Sara Lieberman Sara Lieberman Sara Lieberman is a writer and editor with more than 15 years of experience in publishing and media.
