Silex Hotel
At the foot of the legendary Pont d’Arc, in a protected and preserved natural site, Le Silex Hôtel invites you to enjoy a rare experience: sleeping in the heart of the rock, in a troglodyte hotel with just six rooms, exclusively reserved for adults.
Carved into the cliffside, the hotel blends seamlessly into the mineral landscape of the Ardèche. Each room is an intimate retreat shaped by stone, where the natural calm, the coolness of the rock, and a refined minimalist architecture create a deeply soothing atmosphere. Here, the ambiance is discreet, authentic, and sensory.
Le Silex Hôtel is more than just a place to stay.
It is an immersion in stone, nature, and silence.
A confidential adults-only address where you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Opening period: early April to late September.
This former 18th-century silk mill, carefully renovated and awarded the Fondation du Patrimoine label in 2016, is nestled against the cliff of the Pont d’Arc pillar, directly facing the Chauvet Cave, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Designed for travelers seeking silence, intimacy, and true disconnection, Le Silex Hôtel offers a unique setting for couples’ stays, romantic escapes, and timeless moments. The surrounding natural landscape — cliffs, river, and Mediterranean scrubland — becomes your only horizon.
Just a few steps away, the Ardèche Nature Reserve opens before you: sunrise walks, swimming in the Ardèche River, canoeing beneath the Pont d’Arc, and contemplating the spectacular protected landscapes. Afterwards, return to the mineral calm of your room, far from any bustle.
Due to its location in the heart of nature and along the cliffside, our establishment is not recommended for guests with reduced mobility, elderly guests, or those sensitive to insects.
Please note that all rooms include stair access.
