As someone who lives in France, I think Ardèche is an extremely underrated travel destination.

The French Riviera was at the top of my must-visit list long before I ever moved to France. So, when I finally got here, I figured it was only a matter of time before it became my favorite place to vacation in the country.Now that I've lived in the country for a little more than five years, I've been down to France's Mediterranean coastline more times than I can count. There's no denying just how fabulous it is, but another lesser-known locale situated a little more inland is the place that truly stole my heart.My French husband was the one who introduced me to Ardèche, an area in southeast France. Although it doesn't sit on the Mediterranean, it features a very similar climate and, in my opinion, is just as much (if not more) worthy of a visit.During our first summer living in France, we spent a dreamy couple of weeks there kayaking, lounging, hiking, and foraging near Vallon-Pont-D'Arc, the point where Ardèche's namesake river meets a naturally formed rock arch.Our magical experience left me wondering why more people weren't talking about this spot.Adventurous activities await in Ardèche
