Self-guided walking holidays in France
We concentrate our French walking holidays in the mid and south-east regions of the country, with a choice of Alpine, Mediterranean and classic rural French landscapes. There are three great self-guided walks to choose from – the Alpes Maritimes, close to the Italian border and ending in the showpiece resort of Menton; Northern Provence, close to Avignon and home to some great wines; a walk along the Tarn river through its spectacular gorge; and the beautiful Dordogne region with its historic villages.
The French are great individualists, and the natural beauty surrounding our routes is complemented by some great hosts – always ready to help you and even more ready to demonstrate an enviable quality of joie-de-vivre. And the food and wine – with great regional variations – will be remembered well after your holiday has ended.
