<\/i>Swimming in the river,Sandy beaches, pools with view on the Cirque de Gens<\/span><\/h1><\/div>

To swim in the Ard\u00e8che, I choose Isla Cool Douce, it\u2019s the most beautiful beach in the Ard\u00e8che!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

You made the right choice! This beautiful beach with natural sand<\/strong> is located just in front of the Cirque de Gens<\/strong>, one of the geological wonders of the South Ard\u00e8che. You can have a good swim<\/strong> while you enjoy the fantastic landscape of these cliffs<\/strong>. This natural protected area is a well-known spot between the must-do\u2019s (same level as Vallon Pont d\u2019Arc) for lovers of wide open spaces, climbing and walking.<\/p>\n

Swimming in the wild river<\/strong>, a relaxing<\/strong> escape in the shadow of the populars, lifeguarded swimming pools and kids pool<\/strong> for the smaller ones, and more: recreation and games<\/strong> for the sportives: there\u2019s choice for every demand!<\/p>\n

With family or with friends<\/strong>, our global team will meet all your requirements with a smile<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Everybody will find a good reason to spend an unforgettable day at the beach<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1 )<\/span><\/span>Over here, I can swim in total security and I take a dive in the Ard\u00e8che!<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This private swimming spot<\/strong> gives you direct access to the river<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The natural sand<\/strong> which is brought to shore by the Ard\u00e8che during the fluds, gives you a smooth descent to the water, without stones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Go for a swim in total freedom, with or without depth<\/strong> in the crystal water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For your security<\/strong>, we offer you the possibility of a guarded zone<\/strong>, limited by floating piers, with a lifeguard<\/strong>. The quality of the water<\/strong> is controlled on a two weekly base.<\/p>\n

After your water experience you can enjoy the magnificent natural area<\/strong> and relax. Take a breath<\/strong> in the hammocks while you listen to the rippling water. Give yourself a moment of doing nothing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

What a pleasure to see your kid take his first swim<\/strong> in a magnificent environment<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

For the little ones, and for your security<\/strong>, the nautic base<\/strong> disposes of 3 pools<\/strong> and a big kids pool,<\/strong> completely renewed (and heated by the sun of the Ard\u00e8che).
\nThis guarded swimming zone is very appreciated by the kids<\/strong> because they can play without worries under the watchful eye of the lifeguards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are showers and toilets<\/strong> at your disposal.
\nFor hygienic reasons, only tight swimming shorts<\/strong> and suits are allowed. (shorts, bermudas and burkinis are forbidden).<\/p>\n<\/div>

Canoe rent, waterbikes or Stand Up Paddles:<\/h3><\/div>

Would you like to test a different experience<\/strong> on the water?<\/p>\n

The water surface<\/strong> is really calm in front of the beach, away from the rapids. You can enjoy<\/strong> and progress at your own pace!<\/p>\n

We propose you a canoe<\/strong>, a waterbike<\/strong> or a stand up paddle<\/strong> for rent per half an hour or per hour.<\/p>\n

For the little ones<\/strong> (as of 3 yrs old, accompanied by an adult, guarded by the lifeguards): rent a canoe on the calm waterfront in view of the lifeguards. This is a first touch, even before 7 years old<\/strong>, and before one can pretend to descent the Gorges de l\u2019Ard\u00e8che!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Top of the bill<\/span>The whole family enjoys a wonderful journey<\/strong>:
\nSome will do a canoe trip on their own, while others enjoy the water sports centre<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
