Lamotte-Du-Rhône: Heritage, ViaRhôna and Water Sports

If you are looking for a hotel in Lamotte-Du-Rhône, it is worth first considering the different points of interest in the area: heritage, water sports and the ViaRhôna each offer a distinct focus. This can help you decide before planning whether your trip will centre more on historical connections, activities on the water or a specific section of the route. The information below will help you put these themes in context and explore Lamotte-Du-Rhône according to your interests.

Heritage and historical connections

The Domaine des Barrenques is located in the Quartier des Barrinques in Lamotte-Du-Rhône. Since 1 June 2021, it has been partially listed as a historic monument. The listing therefore does not apply to the entire estate. For travellers interested in cultural history, the Domaine is a specific point of interest; the name of the quarter provides a more precise location within Lamotte-Du-Rhône.

The Pont du Saint-Esprit is also a historical point of reference. Construction of the bridge was completed in 1309; it connects Lamotte-Du-Rhône and Pont-Saint-Esprit. The year marks the completion of the work, while the connection between the two towns describes its geographical role. Bout du Pont should be distinguished from this as a separate historical reference: it was a point of connection between the départements of Vaucluse and Gard. The bridge and Bout du Pont thus represent different connections—between Lamotte-Du-Rhône and Pont-Saint-Esprit on the one hand, and between Vaucluse and Gard on the other.

Water sports at Exo 84

Exo 84 is a leisure facility in Lamotte-Du-Rhône offering water skiing, wakeboarding and stand-up paddleboarding. These three sports offer different ways to make water sports the focus of your stay. Choose according to the activity that interests you most. The water-ski lift is accessible from the age of seven. This age information applies to the lift; confirm it with the operator before your visit, as it may be updated. The facility also has a snack bar and a relaxation area. Alongside the sporting activities, these are two specific visitor facilities to help you plan your visit.

ViaRhôna and route planning

Bout du Pont in Lamotte-Du-Rhône is a starting point for the ViaRhôna. The first section runs from Lamotte-Du-Rhône (Le Bout du Pont) to Mornas (stadium – Les Islons hamlet) and is 11.2 km long. This distance refers to this specifically named section and its two endpoints. The ViaRhôna passes through agricultural plains between the banks of the Rhône and the foothills of the Massif d’Uchaux. For your planning, the length of this section and the route’s landscape character complement each other. Check the route signs and surface before setting out; both may change.

Choosing a focus for your hotel search

When searching for hotels in Lamotte-Du-Rhône, you can first consider the purpose of your stay: the Pont du Saint-Esprit and Domaine des Barrenques are historical points of interest, Exo 84 offers water sports, and the ViaRhôna is a route with a specifically named section.
