Description

All the diversity of the Ardèche...

Ardèche Transport Excursion will take you to three of the Ardèche's most distinctive sites. Architectural or natural heritage, these are places to see!
A great day out in five stages: Mazan Abbey via the Roux Tunnel, the village of Lanarce, Lake Issarlès and Mont Gerbier de Jonc.

The Roux Tunnel: This tunnel is now a road linking Saint Cirgues en Montagne and the Aubenas region, but it was originally built by the railways...

Mazan l'Abbaye: The magnificent remains of this 12th-century Cistercian abbey, some of which have been restored, are listed as historic monuments.
Mazan Abbey had the largest church in the Vivarais region and was a monastic complex of incredible proportions.
Today it is home to a contemporary art trail designed by Felice Varini, including the magical Golden Circles...
Guided tours or self-guided tours with documentation are available.

Lac d'Issarlès: This is one of the "nuggets" of the Ardèche department.
With a surface area of 97ha and at an altitude of 1000m, this expanse of water offers an imposing landscape where you can enjoy swimming or walking.
Catering and picnics available on site.

Mont Gerbier de Joncs: this is the most famous of the "sucs" in the Monts d'Ardèche, with the source of the Loire at its foot.
The Mont Gerbier de Jonc is a must-see site in the Ardèche, thanks to its unusual shape and the extraordinary wealth of nature that surrounds it. At the foot of this natural monument, a market of local producers awaits you...
