February 2022 - after visiting Orange we drove through the marvelous Ardeche Valley. It should be on the Natural WHS list on its own. We stopped at numerous viewpoints to take good shots an memories back home. Of course we stopped at Pont d'Arc as well. The Natural Bridge on one side, the entrance to the cave in the back. A must-stop to see the actual core zone.
With my daughter I decided to enter as the Chauvet II theme park to get a better impression of the WHS. The visit took us several hours though. First the stone age exhibitions and finally the guided tour through the Replica.
Quite something. Not as disneyfied as I thought. It felt really authentic and my daughter was excited as well. Psst! We also took some forbidden pictures. Happy we ticked that one off. Lascaux is probably a similar experience. Now we still need to watch the Werner Herzog documentary.
