The Gorges de l'Ardeche is a beautiful natural wonder located in the Rhone Valley of southern France. It is a spectacular canyon that has been carved out by the Ardeche River over millions of years, with towering limestone cliffs and crystal-clear waters.

The canyon is about 30 km long and up to 300 meters deep in some places, providing visitors with breathtaking views and many opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, swimming, and rock climbing.

One of the most famous sights in the Gorges de l'Ardeche is the Pont d'Arc, a natural limestone arch that spans the river and stands over 60 meters high. It is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking.

The Gorges de l'Ardeche is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, beavers, and numerous species of birds. The area is protected as a national nature reserve and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
