Domaine Du Vernadel

Domaine Du Vernadel is well-placed for hikes, mountain biking and climbing in the Ardèche region, with lots of outdoors sports available at local activity centres like La Forêt de l'Aventure (30 minutes) and Ardèche Bio Paintball (30 minutes). There's also a wide variety of places for canoeing and kayaking down the Ardèche river, with boat rental available in attractive waterside towns like Aubenas (20 minutes) and Vogüé (30 minutes). After investigating the towns above from the water, return to dry land to take a closer look at attractions like the Château d'Aubenas (20 minutes) and Château de Vogüé (30 minutes), or hop back in the car to discover equally impressive natural landmarks like the Cratère de la Crose (40 minutes), Le Cirque de Gens (40 minutes) or the Cascade du Ray-Pic waterfall (50 minutes). If you've come to this part of the world with younger kids who need to blow off some steam, Le Village de Gopher (50 minutes), an amusement park, could be a winner with its various outdoor activities. And for those days when they have a sugar low? Take them on a tour of one of the sweet factories in Montélimar (an hour and 10 minutes).
