Discover the Ardèche

During your stay at Château Clément in Vals-les-Bains, we can guide you in discovering the treasures of our department: Ardèche, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, close to Provence.

Whether you are interested in culture, natural sites, or simply a relaxing getaway, Ardèche is full of riches.

Some ideas:

• A treatment at the Séquoia Redwood Spa at the Vals-les-Bains Thermal Baths, just a 5-minute walk from the Château

• An afternoon of relaxation and swimming on a riverside beach along the Ardèche or Volane rivers (near the Château)

• An evening at the Vals les Bains Casino, or at the Aubenas night market in the château square (in July and August)

• Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art and Heritage in Aubenas

• Explore the spa town of Vals-les-Bains and the picturesque village of Antraigues-sur-Volane

• A visit to the Grotte Chauvet 2 in Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, a replica of the Grotte Chauvet (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

• The Ardèche Gorges: canoe trips for the adventurous, or hiking to discover breathtaking landscapes

• A discovery day in the Ardèche mountains: the Gerbier de Jonc and the source of the Loire, or mountain hikes, with the opportunity to swim in the lakes of the Ardèche plateau, Lake Issarlès, Lake Coucouron, and stunning landscapes
