Vallon-Pont-d’Arc is a capital of prehistoric and cultural tourism. This small village, peaceful in wintertime, sees its population expand ten-fold in summer. Its tourist importance largely comes from the fact that it is the departure point for the river descent of the Gorges de l’Ardèche (from Pont d’Arc to Saint-Martin-d’Ardeche).
Britain has larger and more dramatic waterfalls, but seldom can you see so many falls in such a small area. Talybont is a classic “hanging valley” where water cascades into a glacial valley occupied by the largest reservoir in the Brecon Beacons.
