Provence

Provence's relaxed Mediterranean charm attracts many visitors to its coast, yet the area also has much to offer the walker.  The countryside provides both unexpected solitude and a diversity of landscapes - one day a remote plateau, the next a leafy gorge.  The walking is magical and full of discovery - an ancient ruin, a tumbledown village, monuments, shrines and old canals.  This is a landscape with a past, and when you walk you stumble on history.  Interesting diversions beckon, and the air is warm and fragrent with herbs.

 

This guide contains 42 short and medium-length walks in the areas of Alpes Maritimes, Var, Vaucluse and northern Provence.

 

Also included :

  • Detailed maps accompanying each walk
  • History of the Provençal regions
  • Flora & Fauna, Provençal Writers and Regional Dishes  
  • Practical information regarding accommodation, when to go and how to get there.
