The Aredeche : Far enough south to benefit from a Mediterranean climate, set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Ardeche is now one of France's most visited regions. 'Aux Pas Des Bleus' offers self-catering accommodation in the medieval village of Chassiers in the south of the Ardeche. Only 25 minutes from the Ardeche's major tourist spots yet far enough away to avoid the crowds, it is an ideal base for your exploration of this beautiful part of France.
