The Pont d'Arc (French pont = bridge) is a large natural bridge, located in Ardèche, 5 km from the town of Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. The arch, carved out by the Ardèche River, is 60 m wide and 54 m high. It is a popular canoeing and kayaking area. It is described as the natural entrance to the Ardèche Canyon. The arch is the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave, containing the earliest known paleolithic cave paintings, about 33,000 years old.
