Come walking in France
in 2012
in Spring - and in Autumn too!
Next year, we’re expanding the range of our
French holidays and will be adding 2 new and very different
options. We will also be going twice – May/June,
to make sure we're there for the wonderful spring mountain
flowers and September/October, for the best of early autumn
in this most gorgeous of countries.
On each occasion we've timed it to give you the option
of enjoying two successive tours in very different parts
of the country. We’ll transport you from one destination
to the other if you decide to do the two and pay hotel
costs (demi-pension) en route from one to the other.
France: Walking in the western Pyrenees
For the umpteenth time I’ll happily
be making my annual reconnection with the gorgeous walks
and fascinating Basque culture in a most beautiful corner
(extreme South West) of la belle France. We stay at my
old house (the tyranny of distance required that I sell
my half share in 2002). A delightful house, gorgeous walks
and terrific food tell why this one keeps on selling out......

tour to the Pyrenees
France: RL Stevenson Cévennes
This fabulous ‘new’ venture
is the walk based on a book the lovelorn young Stevenson
wrote in 1879, called Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes
and has been designated by the French as one of their
Grande Randonnées or 'long distance walks' (GR70).
It will be a 14 day walking tour leaving from the historic
old town of Le Puy en Velay and heading south through
stunning and very varied countryside to St Jean du Gard,
quite close to Montpellier and Avignon. We stay in hotels
and pensions and luggage will be transported in our support
bus. Participants always have the option of jumping in
the support bus if it all gets too much.... our
next tour to RL Stevenson Cévennes
France: Walking in Dordogne and Lot
Even in a country with so much variety
regional beauty as France, the Dordogne and Lot areas
stand out. We'll stay in a delightful holiday house near
the junction of the Dordogne and Vézère
rivers, setting off each day to explore this delightful
region. We visit the the lovely market town of Sarlat,
the pilgrimage site at Rocamadour, walk in the limestone
areas of the Lot and much more..... our next
tour to Dordogne and Lot
