Description
The Pont d'Arc (French pont = bridge) is a large natural bridge, located in the Ardeche departement in the south of France, 5 km from the town of Vallon-Pont-d'Arc.
The arch, carved out by the Ardeche River, is 60 m wide and 54 m high. It is a very popular canoeing and kayaking area and is heavily visited by tourists. It is usually described as the natural entrance to the Ardeche Canyon.
In the near vicinity of the arch is the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave, containing the earliest known paleolithic cave paintings, about 30,000 years old.
Captured in 1995 with a Pentax 6x7 camera using Fuji Velvia Film.
