Collection Rivages Rives d'Arc

On hot days, Collection Rivages Rives d'Arc offers refreshment in two heated pools. A large pool invites relaxed swimming, while a smaller pool with a shallow section is perfect for young children. Around the pools are sunbeds under the trees, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the view of the surrounding greenery. For extra relaxation, a hot tub is available, where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the day. In addition, the Ardèche River is within walking distance of your accommodation. Here you can swim in clear, natural water or just sit on the bank and follow the stream. Children discover the water playfully, while sports enthusiasts get ready for a canoe trip that starts right from the open-air hotel. Thanks to cooperation with a local kayak rental company, it is easy to arrange your equipment and set off safely. At the end of the day you can relax on the deck chairs overlooking the river and enjoy the sunset.

For children ages 6 to 12, there is the Maison des Enfants, a mini-club where creativity and discovery are key. Supervised by enthusiastic animators, children take part in various activities, from crafts to nature expeditions and sports tournaments. There is also plenty to do outside the mini-club: in the open-air hotel there is a playground where they can have hours of fun, and on the petanque court a fun family game quickly develops. Teens can participate in group games, hiking trips and communal activities by the pool. A fun way to make new vacation friends. ‘In the evening, you can enjoy regional dishes at restaurant L’Avalon or relax at Le Rivière Club by the pool. They organize regular evening entertainment, so there is always something to do.

The Ardèche is a region that continues to surprise. A walk of about 15 minutes brings you to nearby Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, where medieval alleys, markets and cozy terraces await you. Just outside the village, the famous Pont d’Arc towers over the river, a natural work of art best admired from the water. The impressive caves of Aven d’Orgnac and Grotte de la Madeleine are a short drive away and are a feast for curious children and their parents. And those who like to explore authentic villages should definitely head for Vogüé, Balazuc or Labeaume – all charming places with old stone streets, viewpoints and small stores full of local treasures. Finally, let yourself be taken to the Cirque de Gens, where a walk over the cliffs rewards you with panorama’s that take your breath away.
