The Upper Cèze Valley, at the borders of Gard and Ardèche, is a region of limestone gorges and sunshine, marking the transition between the Cévennes and Provence. The Cèze River has carved a spectacular furrow through the karst limestone, creating a landscape of sinkholes and caves. Its iconic site is the Cascades du Sautadet, a natural wonder of rapids, giant pots, and sculpted cliffs. The valley enjoys a predominantly Mediterranean climate, where fragrant garrigue vegetation prevails. It is dotted with charming medieval villages (such as La Roque-sur-Cèze). This is a favored destination for river swimming and exploring a rich, preserved historical and natural heritage.
