[한국어 정보]
아름다운 천연 온천에서 그리 멀지 않은 곳에 ‘꽃의 도시’로 불리는 작은 마을이 있다. 마을에 들어서자마자 제일 먼저 눈에 띄는 건 바로 이 바위. 마치 마을을 지키는 수호신처럼 그 모양새가 심상치 않다. 정확한 유래는 들을 수 없었지만, 바위에 설치된 계단을 올라가면 마을의 아름다운 풍광이 한눈에 들어온다.

Not far from the beautiful natural hot springs is a small village known as the 'City of Flowers'. The first thing catching the eye as soon as you entered the village just a rock. Its appearance is not as alarming as if guarding the town patron saint. Eopeotjiman exact origin can listen, rock climbing stairs installed on the beautiful scenery of the village comes into sight.

Jo shumë larg nga burimet e bukura natyrore të nxehtë është një fshat i vogël i njohur si Qyteti i Luleve. Gjëja e parë që zënë syrin sa më shpejt që ju të hyrë në fshat vetëm një shkëmb. Pamja e saj nuk është aq alarmante sikur ruante qytetin shenjt mbrojtës. Origjina Eopeotjiman e saktë mund të dëgjoni, rock shkallët instaluar në pamje të bukur të fshatit ngjitur vjen në shikim.

The Ardèche (Occitan: Ardecha) is a 125-kilometre (78 mi) long river in south-central France, a right-bank tributary of the River Rhône. Its source is in the Massif Central, near the village of Astet. It flows into the Rhône near Pont-Saint-Esprit, north-west of Orange. The river gives its name to the French department of Ardèche.
The valley of the Ardèche is very scenic, in particular a 30-kilometre (19 mi) section known as the Ardèche Gorges. The walls of the river here are limestone cliffs up to 300 metres (980 ft) high. A kayak and camping trip down the gorge is not technically difficult and is very popular in the summer. The most famous feature is a natural 60-metre (200 ft) stone arch spanning the river known as the Pont d'Arc (arch bridge).
