Our walking holidays in France are an exciting and original range of hiking vacations. All trails can be easily accessed from Paris by high speed train [TGV] or by air from numerous European airports. They are of different lengths, from six nights [see Walking holiday in Auvergne: Cantal volcano] to thirteen nights [ see Walking holiday in Languedoc, Le Puy to Camargue Coast].
These hiking trips offer something for everyone and cover four diverse regions: Auvergne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence and Rhone-Alps. Whichever you choose, your walking tour is graded according to the level of physical exertion demanded and labelled accordingly as Light [L], Moderate [M] or Moderate-Challenging [MC].
When making your selection, note that you can personalise your tour further to suit your own requirements. We create and deliver your walking experience, so are able to amend it where the model format doesn't quite suit your specific requirements. Simply contact us with your needs and we can customise your walking holiday further. You only have to ask.
