Ardèche landscape with Gerbier de Jonc mountain

 

Gerbier de Jonc if probably the most famous mountain in Ardèche and this place is the second most visited by tourists in the department. I think this celebrity comes from its special shape and from the sources of Loire river which are just near. Half a million people pay to climb this little mountain every year...

I've posted yesterday my last batch of images from Ardèche on my website, the new and dedicated gallery is here.

Loire river is the longest river in France. It runs during more than 1 000 kilometers from Ardèche department to Atlantic ocean.
Here, near the source it's still a little and wild river running through fields and forest.

Note : For more images and informations about Loire country in center France, you can have a look at Amboise Daily Photo which is one of the many blogs i check every day.
