Dolce Via cycling route.

This 90 km long bicycle tour leads you through the nature of the Ardèche. You will pass through the Eyrieux valley where robust boulders keep the river under control and where small waterfalls make a soothing splashing sound. Along the route you will find nice restaurants and cafes for a break, but also beautiful picnic spots. This makes the bike route also great to do with children.

Chocolate Museum

In the small town of Tain l'Hermitage, be surprised by a chocolate museum. In this interactive museum you will learn all about this delicacy. You will learn about the production of cocoa beans and the Madagascar plantation. And, of course, you have to taste. Scattered throughout the museum you can taste chocolate. In the store they sell all kinds of chocolate and in the restaurant they serve dishes that involve chocolate.

    What a nice place this is. Used as a stopover for 1 night but stayed an extra day. Very friendly owner who takes the time for you no matter how busy it is. She came with walking and cycling routes which we also used. The spots are huge. Plumbing is okay. Nice swimming pool. Roll service via the app. Restaurant was closed from mid-September. Village within walking distance.

    Wat een leuke plek is dit. Als tussenstop gebruikt voor 1 nacht maar zijn een dag langer gebleven. Ontzettend vriendelijke eigenaresse die de tijd voor je neemt hoe druk het ook is. Ze kwam met wandel-en fietsroutes waar we ook gebruik van gemaakt hebben. De plekken zijn enorm ruim. Sanitair is oké. Mooi zwembad aanwezig. Broodjesservice via de app. Restaurant was gesloten vanaf half september. Dorp op loopafstand.

    What an incredibly disinterested Dutch couple at the front desk. They were absolutely NOT concerned with their guests. A memory of a spin, ie in arrived, asked for a quiet spot, because of my two dogs. I was immediately sent to the left, where helt was already reasonably full. But okay, I thought for one night. Too,back at the reception, both had forgotten, that they had spoken to me before. When I walked around the campground in the evening, it turned out that there were many quieter places than the one I had been sent to.|An absolute inadequate and a must, even if you consider that this is supposed to be a so-called four star campground.|An absolute must, there are undoubtedly better and friendlier campsites in the area.

    Wat een ongelofelijk ongeïnteresseerd Nederlands stel bij de receptie. Zij waren absoluut NIET met hun gasten bezig. Een geheugen van een spin, dwz inkwam aan, vroeg om een rustig plekje, vanwege mijn twee honden. Ik werd direct naar links gestuurd, waar helt alredelijk vol was. Maar oké, dacht ik voor één nacht. Te,rug bij de receptie, waren beiden vergeten, dat ze mij al eerder hadden gesproken. Toen ik ‘‘s avonds over de camping rondliep, bleken er heel veel, rustiger plekken te zijn dan die waarheen ik was gestuurd.|Een absolute onvoldoende en een afrader, ook als je bedenkt, dat dit een zogenaamde vier sterren amping zou moeten voorstellen.||Een absolute afrader, er zijn zonder enige twijfel betere en vriendelijker campings in de omgeving.
