3. Le Jardin d'Eden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 582 reviews
The Garden of Eden is the former park of the Cordeliers monastery and the Notre Dame convent. It is a magical, authentic and historic place, full of basin, ponds and trees of various species : an island of coolness and greenery in the heart of the city. The Garden has managed to keep the charm of former days. Covering a one hectare area, it is surrounded by old ramparts and of its tower rebirth, narrow footpaths and a stream having its source at the top of the hill. One can still find remains of old dwellings and small bridges. Steps will lead you to the panoramic viewpoint through shaded areas. A quiet and soothing atmosphere radiates from this preserved haven of peace. The Garden of Eden offers a wonderful view over the Rhone and the twin towns of Tournon and Tain l’Hermitage; on the river banks facing the garden, you will admire the famous vineyards, remarkable for their terrace cultivation.

A great exhibit with fascinating information about the Chauvet Cave and the paleolithic period in France. The museum is amazing and the cave re-creation is unbelievable. So well done. This is really worth the trip to get there.

My partner and I had a beautiful time visiting Pont d’ Arc early in the morning (about 9:00). This was before any of the tours came past and it meant that we had the water to ourselves (as we had paddled our SUPs from our campsite). Even driving past the Arc is stunning and I would highly recommend to those who like natural wonders, just don’t be surprised if you go in the middle of the day in summer that it’s super busy!!
8. Grotte de la Madeleine

Reviewed By Princessjaynie - Lincoln, United Kingdom
This cave unlike a lot of others doesn't seem as well advertised or quite as commercialised as some, but oh boy! What a hidden gem. The Grotte itself is so pretty, and not as tall as some so you could get good views of all the rock formations. It is quite narrow in places, and their are loads of steps. Some of the stair cases are very narrow with steps that weren't very deep......and all those steps had to be climbed to get back out, though we weren't hurried by the Guide. Whilst I don't want to put anyone off, it is something to bear in mind if you have health issues or dodgy knees!! Probably not suited to very young children though. We had the Audio guide which was great. There is plenty of parking. Before you access the cave there is a garden area with stunning views over the Ardeche and across the gorge.....and it is so peaceful. There is a small gift shop and cafe, they have hot and cold drinks, snacks and a tasty panini! Not a huge selection, but ok. Well worth a visit.
