The Chassezac is the ideal river for relaxation and “farniente”.

Descending from the canyons of Lozère, this main tributary of the Ardèche winds through a vast valley before entering magnificent gorges in order to cross for 10 kilometers the limestone massif of the Païolive wood. It then travels across the plain before joining its illustrious neighbor Ardèche .
