Summer Camp Ardèche, France

Vallon & the Ardeche

We did a lot today, but it went by so fast!

This morning we all made the 45 minute trek to check out the market in Vallon Pont d'Arc. We did some booth shopping, eating and hanging out. What a cute village Vallon is!

After lunch, we sported helmets and PFDs and headed down to the river together to make out way to the Arc of Vallon Pont d'Arc [you can see it in the background of some of our pictures for today].

We went through our first series of rapids with Julien, Caveman, Christoph and Alein no sweat. After paddling for approximately three hours we made paddle packs, pulled our canoes out of the river and locked them up so they will be ready and waiting for us next Wednesday when we continue down the river on our Grand Descent.
