Directions : From the east exit of the village of "Vallon Pont d'Arc" (home of the famous natural bridge), drive road D1 for 2.400km and turn right on road D558 toward "Vallée de l'Ibie" (L'Ibie valley). Drive D558 for 1.800 to L'Ibie bridge. From there is it best first to proceed road D558 east for another 3.1OOkm to an excellent view from the road on the arch located up on the hill (left). Then drive back to L'Ibie bridge. From the bridge, take an unpaved road along L'Ibie creek for 0.7OO meters and park at the confluence. From there, hike up the 4wd road (north) 30 minutes staying on the main road to the top of the hill. As soon as the road climb down pay attention at the cairn on the right. Leave the road here and follow the faint path 5 minutes to the rim and the arch. The arch is located by red star at "Ranc de L'Arc arche naturelle" on the IGN topographic map n°2939 west "Gorges de l'Ardèche" pleat A5. The arch has a span of 15 meters.
