Aire de camping-car de Privas (Ardèche)

Capital of the Ardèche, Privas is a dynamic and lively Provençal town located 40 kilometers southwest of Valence. Privas has an important heritage, both historical and natural. The Montoulon is a building overlooking the town and reminds us of the time when it was used as a lookout post during the fighting in the 17th century. Its incredible viewpoint gives a panorama of the whole region, from the Charray mountains to the first chains of the Alps. For a walk in nature, head to the Laville wood and its small arboretum, only 2 kilometers from the town center. At the gateway to the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Nature Park, Privas enjoys an exceptional location for those who love hiking and beautiful landscapes. Between the Rhône banks, the Eyrieux Valley, the Vernoux and Coiron plateaus and other natural spots, you are bound to find a little corner of paradise. The town also has a rich gastronomic heritage. The Châtaigneraie de Privas (chestnut grove) has even been awarded the label « Site Remarquable du Goût ». Its emblematic product benefits the Protected Designation of Origin « Châtaigne d’Ardèche ».
