Description

Gerbier de Jonc, sources of the Loire...

This geological curiosity is above all the starting point of the longest river in France.

It is at the foot of the mountain that the 3 springs meet to form the Loire, which will flow to the Atlantic Ocean after having travelled more than 1000 km!

Because of its particular shape and the extraordinary richness of the nature that surrounds it, the Mont Gerbier de Jonc is an essential site in the Ardèche department.

From below... Or from above!

You can contemplate the Gerbier de Jonc from below and walk around it.

Or you can choose to get up high and enjoy a breathtaking view from the top of its 1551m of altitude!
