Here are some interesting destinations.
Cities, towns, villages:
Avignon, Tarascon, Arles, Orange, Nimes, Aigues-Mortes, Montpellier are beautiful cities and towns, some of Roman origin. Uzes, a great Renaissance-town attracts with southern French market life. La Roque-sur-Cèze nestles like many other natural stone villages on the slopes of the Vallee de la Cèze. Barjac is a stone's throw away, and invites even off his famous antiques market to stroll and relax.
Les Beaux de Provence, a picturesque village on a rocky hill, offers beautiful views and a good wine (storage and sales rooms in the caves of a former quarry near the village). Very nice is also a day trip to the small fishing village Cassis, a few kilometers east of Marseille.
Marseille itself is well worth the trip, but it is advisable here not to go by car to the city center. For example, you can öhlen of Cassis from a boat trip to the picturesque cliffs to Marseille:
A few kilometers away towards Orgnac can visit a spectacular stalactite cave which Orgnac. In general, there are in the region many beautiful caves (limestone area) .Beautiful landscapes and mountain ranges:
The famous regions Provence to the east and the Camargue in the south are close. To the north are the Cevennes, in the east, the Dentelles de Montmirail. The Mont Ventoux is known as stage of the Tour de highlight is the one-day canoe tour of the Ardèche Gorges (30 km). Start the morning at best at in Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, then you create the romantic route downriver to St. Martin easily. They are picked up in the evening at about 18:00 to 19:00 from the canoe rental company there again. Alternatively, there is a short tour of about 7 km, possibly recommended to try out. Canoeing in the summer should be selected with care, as smaller rivers such as the Cèze have a low water level and you often have to pull the canoes on gravel banks. In the Ardèche one is here on the safe side.

A holiday accommodation that really leaves nothing to be desired
From the first moment we enjoyed the wonderful tranquillity that reigns in Labastide de Virac, especially around this house. Beautifully situated, very tastefully laid out and furnished in the same way - from the first moment we felt comfortable there and like in a second home. We had already had very nice contact with the Baader family in the run-up to our stay and were not looking forward to our holiday in the Ardéche for nothing. In the house itself we found everything we could wish for. Everything is very clean, very tastefully and very well furnished and equipped. You don't have to do without anything on holiday here. Next time we might take a small fan with us to cool down a bit on the many tropical nights, but that is really the icing on the cake. The holiday home is an excellent base for exploring the Ardéche all the way to Lyon, Orange, Avignon, Aubenas, Vogüé and Nimes. We enjoyed the little river Ardéche several times from the nearby Vallon Pont d'Arc by boat on the water, paddled through the impressive, elongated gorge to St. Martin and passed not only the Pont d'Arc but also impressive landscape sceneries on the way. The area around the holiday home is teeming with caves, museums, castles, wineries, traces of Roman settlements, enchanting little villages and the special "Les plus beaux villages de France", e.g. Balazuc. Plenty to see and discover.
For active holidaymakers there are dozens of worthwhile destinations. First and foremost, of course, the Grotte Chauvet, which is why we visited this area for the first time 3 years ago and spontaneously fell in love with the landscape (a visit to the little village of Labeaume was a key moment)
If you do some research on the internet, you can find hidden waterfalls or even the entrance to a very extensive (dangerous) cave system (which has an entrance only about 3 km from the holiday home).
