Journeys on foot in France for the Cautiously Adventurous. Does that sound like you?

Walking Holidays in France is home to the independent hiker who seeks a little more adventure and authenticity than one finds on the average walking holiday in France. This original range of self-guided walking holidays is designed to suit a variety of tastes, whether you seek a short or longer walking tour.

Walking Holidays in France invites you to Walk in France and enjoy the kind of walking holiday France is famous for worldwide. We help you get just a little bit closer to nature by coaxing you out of your habitual comfort-zone and exposing you more to what your French counterparts experience on their «randonnées». So you will find us mixing up the normal accommodation provided, balancing hotel comforts with walkers’ inns and auberges where you can enjoy mixing with like-minded people rather than staring at the paintings on hotel restaurant walls. We'll even give you the chance to 'hike and camp' and experience the odd 'middle-mountain' refuge so long as the latter provides electricity, food and showers!

In this way, Walking Holidays in France empowers you to escape from the trappings of a relative and somewhat bourgeois immersion in French culture, in favour of a search for greater understanding and a more genuine experience.

There is a natural trade-off between authenticity of experience and creature comfort and we invite you to tip the balance in favour of the former without ‘roughing it.’ All accommodation offered meets French national standards of fire, health and safety. We have visited all accommodation providers and stayed in most options ourselves.

The main benefits offered by Walking Holidays in France can be listed as follows:

  • Choose what you eat for lunch and dinner - preferable for vegans and
    vegetarians, as well as those travelling on a tighter budget.
  • Enjoy more spectacular scenery.
  • Get closer to French culture and nature.
  • Make savings from reduced accommodation costs.
  • Trust in the savoir-faire and understanding of France-based walking professionals.
We classify our holidays accordingly: Light (L), Moderate (M) and Challenging (C) -
