By car
Beware the traffic jams along the river road, especially around 5pm in the busy summer period.
By public transport
There's a free minibus that travels between Vallon the town and Pont d'Arc the geological feature, a trip of about 20 minutes.It is roughly hourly, but with a long gap in service around lunch time as at summer 2007.You can flag it down to pick you up or ask to be dropped off more or less anywhere along the route: it passes many of the town's camp sites.
If you want to hire a canoe, and are without a car, then choose to hire it from somewhere that is as near as possible to where you want to be at the end of the trip. You can hire a canoe directly from most of the camp sites; at the end of your canoe trip you will be brought back to where you hired it from. For example, at Camping de L'Ile, you can hire a canoe from Claude Mialon.
By Canoe
Canoe is the best way to truly enjoy the beauty of the river. There are a lot of spots along the river where you can stop to enjoy the view or to swim. However, as this is a nature reservation area, there are only 2 sites designated for camping: "Gaud" or "Gournier", both can be reached by canoe.
