Cave of the Pont d'Arc.
The Hotel l'Escarbille is located at the gateway to Provence and Ardèche. Let yourself be told the story of a country of rocks, water and orchards, a country whose first prehistoric inhabitants painted masterpieces in the Chauvet Cave that can be seen today, beautifully reconstructed in the Cave of the Bridge. Arc in a totally respectful scenography. But if the hand of man has painted the rock, the water has carved it for much longer.

Immerse yourself in the bowels of the Earth up to 120 meters deep to discover immense rooms, fairy like and spectacular.
