Vallon-Pont-d'Arc

Vallon-Pont-d'Arc is a village in southern France's Ardèche department. It's a gateway to the Ardèche Gorges, where the Ardèche River has carved a dramatic canyon through a limestone plateau. The village is named after the Pont d'Arc, a huge, natural rock arch. Pont d'Arc Cavern is a replica of the nearby Chauvet Cave, a renowned prehistoric art site. Madeleine Cave is known for its stalagmites and stalactites.
