Hiking in Provence
A Provence walking holiday evokes colourful images of blue skies, yellow sun flowers, silvery-green olive trees, purple lavender and green vineyards. Hiking in Provence suggests wine and olive oil tasting, lingering over a glass or two on a shaded terrace, sampling the local cuisine and lounging by the hotel pool, soaking up the sun after a day on the trail.
Why discover Provence on foot?
A Provence walking tour is a great way to discover this beautiful part of France. Our trails will lead you off the beaten track, along country lanes and through fields, up to the perched medieval villages in time for lunch and back down through the vineyards and olive groves. Walking in Provence offers a diverse landscape, from the Alpilles mountains, to the rolling hills of the Lubéron, the jagged ridges of the Dentelles mountain range and the unspoiled back country of the Côte d’Azur.
