Gué de Guitard rapids

Highlight • River

Here near Rapide du Gué de Guitard you can cross the river as shown on the map. So slightly diagonally across the river bed.
It's not easy, so aqua shoes …

I walked the river bank late March. Slow going due to high water with section near via feratta needing caution as path swept away with small but challenging section to scramble to start of vf and avoid getting feet wet

A beautiful hiking trail that leads to wonderful swimming spots with rocks right by the water. Marbled stones are sometimes very slippery.

A picturesque path through the gorge leads over hill and dale, to walk well with hiking boots, and at the destination lures a lonely located restaurant with a beautiful view of the Ardeche.
Caution: do not step on the toads!

Beach and swimming

Highlight • Beach

A superb fine sandy beach directly accessible from the path. A real oasis for hikers looking for fresh air.
From the beach, you have a superb view of the gorges.
