Camping Iserand

If you like to include a bit of cycling on your holiday, this is a good spot – the ViaRhôna bike path is about 100 metres away for riverside rides as long as you like (it’s 815km long though so probably a good idea to have an idea of where to turn around). If that’s a bit ambitious, perhaps instead try the Vélorail of the Gorges du Doux (half an hour’s drive), where you’ll ride along the old railway line. The Train de l’Ardèche (10 minutes) is another great way to see some of the local views, or you could explore underground at the Grotte de Choranche (an hour). If you like your scenery to come with a bit more activity, there are places nearby for horse riding, rafting and sailing, plus lots of hiking trails. Days out with the kids? Maybe treat them to a trip to the Cité du Chocolat (10 minutes), animal encounters at Safari de Peaugres (half an hour) or a visit to the offbeat Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval (35 minutes), where one man single-handedly crafted an amazingly detailed and decorated house and garden over the course of 33 years.
