An ideal parc for those who enjoy the great outdoors, located in the breathtaking Ardèche, close to the beautiful town of L'argentière.

With an abundance of activities such as canoeing, walking, archery and a full children’s animation programme, Les Ranchisses has something for everyone. An excellent base for exploring the surrounding countryside by foot, bike or canoe. Or perhaps relaxation is in order, the new heated outdoor pools have plenty of loungers, or why not indulge in a massage in the new wellness centre which also features a fitness room.
