St Alban and around
St Alban is a village in an excellent location. There are fantastic experiences and adventures to be had in every direction. Evasion Travel runs most of its Ardèche activity holidays from here.
Canoeing on the Ardeche River is very popular
The nearest town is Ruoms – a thriving market town, especially between April and September on the banks of the Ardeche river.
To the east is Vallon Pont d’Arc, gateway to the fabulous Gorges de l’Ardèche National Park. The gorge is hugely popular with canoeists and walkers. The River flows through 32km of deep canyons and stunning natural features including the fascinating Pont d’Arc. The small rapids on the river make for an exciting trip that is manageable for any confident swimmer over the age of 7.
To the north west, the Ardèche river winds its way deep into the hills to its source, high in the granite mountains. There are excellent sites for climbing in this region as well as picturesque villages and wonderful riverside beaches.
To the north-east is the steam train town of Vogüé and the high plateau above the gorges.
To the east lies the stunning Ardeche gorge – the ‘grand canyon of Europe’ and home to the thrilling 2-day canoe descent of the gorges. A trip to see the gorge is a must!
