Nearby, the Cocalière Cave and the Aven d’Orgnac offer a captivating underground spectacle.
Local Markets and Regional Flavours
It’s impossible to talk about Ardèche without mentioning its gastronomy. The local markets are a true institution, bringing life to the villages all year long. Just a few steps from your Ardèche campsite, discover colourful stalls overflowing with goat cheeses, mountain honey, candied chestnuts, and wines from southern Ardèche. The local specialties delight every palate: caillette ardéchoise (pork pâté with herbs), bombine (potato stew), maouche (stuffed pork belly), and the traditional crique (potato pancake) are among the must-tastes.
Traditional festivals and agricultural fairs celebrate these local products. In summer, the Fête des Vignerons Ardèchois brings together locals and visitors with tastings and open-air concerts.
