The Donzère Gorges

From the car park, head towards the town, then turn right. Walk along the square to join the lovely avenue lined with plane trees. This will take you to the marina. Turn right there. There is an ‘Info rando’ sign and some tables and benches where you can take a break.

1. From there, walk along the Rhône.
2. Before the junction, take the path on the left to go under the bridge. Continue along the river and enjoy the views of the cliffs on the opposite bank.
3. At the signpost marked “Ile des Perriers”, carry straight on. Unless the Rhône is very high or you’d prefer to avoid the dirt track, which can be a bit muddy. In which case, turn right then left (follow ViaRhôna).
4. In both cases, you’ll reach a point where the small road runs alongside the river.
5. A shaded picnic area by the water’s edge offers a lovely view of the end of the gorge and the suspension bridge. When you reach the Robinet Bridge, cross it.
6. On the opposite bank, follow the greenway to the left for approximately 4 km.
7. When you reach the bridge, go under it on the left, then turn right 270°. The path is sometimes flooded, but this is very rare. If this happens, go up to the right and cross the road carefully. Take the bridge on the right-hand pavement. At the end, turn right onto the small road that runs alongside the river upstream. Before the harbour, turn left to reach the Creux car park.
