We are an English-speaking multi-activity holiday company located in the Ardeche region in the south of France.

Childhood friends, we met whilst attending canoeing clubs in London and despite established careers in education we have always found ourselves drawn back to the Ardeche and so, in 2004, Ardeche Adventures was founded.

Our experience and expertise of providing adventure holidays in this region runs over twenty years and in that time we have managed and organised trips both independently and for almost every UK operator as well as some French ones.

The Gorges of the Ardèche comprise some of the most astounding geology in Europe and is a region of incredible natural beauty, perfect for a wide range of activities from canoeing, kayaking, climbing and caving to mountain biking and trekking.

Ardeche Adventures is unique in being able to offer a personal, bespoke service. We live here, we are passionate about the region and we are passionate about adventure for all, no matter what age. 

Being personally involved at every point of your trip, from the moment you book to getting you safely down the river, we provide continuity and quality of service. We can promise you a holiday that’s safe, fun and educational.

Sincerely,
Mike Smith and Phil Gasson
