| Although just across the River Rhone from Provence, the Cevennes is one of France's wild and unknown regions. The area includes the 230,000 km2 Parc National des Cevennes and the upper reaches of the Tarn gorge.  The Cevennes will attract the walker and explorer who has a taste for a more rugged and subtle landscape - the mysterious emptiness of its endless hillsides, like blue crests of waves rolling to the distant horizon, and deep dark gorges cutting through stark open plains.  This is Janette Norton's third Cicerone guide to France, following on from her Haute Savoie (lst edition) and Provence guides. Based in the north around Florac and in the south around Le Vigan, the guide explores the walking potential of the region in 31 half- to full-day walks and the well-known four-day circuit of Mont Lozere. It is a complete introduction to the walking potential of the region. Click here to Buy this book on Amazon | |  Walking in the Cevennes |
