Hotel, Gites and Traditional Meals - Ardèche, (South France)
Welcome to Le Sentier des Arches - the perfect holiday destination.... Our 14 double or family guest rooms are all en-suite and idyllically set amongst several acres of sweet chestnut trees overlooking the crystal waters of the river Beaume.
In the middle of the Ardèche Regional Park and just 25 kilometres from Vallon Pont d'Arc, the area offers a variety of different scenery, ranging from natural caves and gorges to rivers and forests. The site itself overlooks the oldest vineyards in the Ardèche - dating back to the 9th century!
There are many activities to be enjoyed in the Ardèche - take a look at our 'activities' page. You don't even have to go far: relax in our extensive gardens, swim in the river's natural swimming pool, or sunbathe on the beach... An ideal place to holiday in a blissfully unspoilt region of France. The Ardèche has long been a popular holiday destination and boasts an impressive 300 days sunshine a year!!
Our family restaurant will be serving fresh local produce and specialising in cuisine of the Ardèche - enjoy your continental breakfast and a different 3 course meal every evening on our terrace!
Our hotel is set in the very heart of a magnificent countryside. In order to preserve it for future generations, we try to respect the nature which surrounds it as much as possible. In our kitchen we use locally grown produce of an excellent quality and we avoid the use of unnecessary packaging. Water is also a precious resource in the Ardèche and the water for Le Sentier des Arches comes straight from a source - the taste is delicious and we avoid wasting it! Out of respect for the environment, we have also decided not to build a swimming pool, but instead to create a beach area next to the river. The river is category 1 (the cleanest category which exists) and we have created our very own 'natural' swimming pool!
Apple Crumble
Good and easy too!!
Peal the apples and chop them up - soak them over night in rum (type Bacardi), orange juice and sugar (enough to cover the apples) Simmer over a low heat until the apples are soft.
For the crumble..
300g flour, 200g butter and 175g sugar - make 'crumbs' between your forefingers then put this on top of the apple mixture - sprinkle with sugar and cook in a hot oven for 30 - 40 minutes..
An English classic, which the French love too!!
