Walk around France. Discover it as close as possible to nature. Slow down the pace. Breathe in the fresh air of the great outdoors with your lungs. Observe the landscape. Surprise an animal in its race. Sleeping under the stars. A hike in France invites us to take the time to see, feel, tread and share. Zoom in on the regions that are essential to enjoy dream walks.
Normandy is not lacking in charm for hikers, on the coasts, along the landing beaches or inland. You can also discover the cliffs of the Caux region, the Cotentin, the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel or unusual sites such as Norman Switzerland. In short, the region abounds in peaceful and easy routes, between land and sea
Then, direction Franche-Comté, its fresh air and beautiful landscapes... Hiking in the Doubs valley or on the paths of the Jura promises beautiful sensations. And above all, after a good walk, don't forget the yellow wine and the Mont d'Or, two local specialities that it would be a shame to do without!
The Rhône-Alpes region is also very attractive for hikers, especially for its mountain trails. From GR to circuits marked out by the departments, you have only the embarrassment of choice as for the routes to practice. The practices are varied: hiking, trail, Nordic walking... Some famous places are not to be missed, starting with Mont Blanc, our national summit. Along the way, you can bivouac, sleep in a refuge, a cottage, a hotel... Unmissable spots.
The Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region is home to natural jewels and renowned hiking trails of a beautiful variety. For example, you can take the paths that criss-cross the Sainte-Victoire mountain, the jewel of the Aix-en-Provence region and the Grand Site de France, or the coastal paths that line the creeks of Cassis in Marseille... In the background, the great Blue, the song of the cicadas and the scents of the scrubland. Choose early spring or fall to avoid crowds, as the area is extremely popular in summer!
In Midi-Pyrénées, you can hike with your family or friends on more than 500 itineraries in a loop, for all levels, for a day or half-day. You can also combine routes and imagine crossings to hike for several days. While the Pyrenean peaks attract high mountain lovers, many trails are accessible to families and walkers without training. Notice to amateurs!
Finally, the paths of Corsica and particularly the GR20 are famous for their great beauty. There is no lack of elevation or enchanting landscapes, when the ridge path overlooks the sea, walks through the scrubland, crosses herds and olive groves and perfumes the thyme and the snake.... The only problem in the summer will be the heat wave. Plan dives into the sea or streams to cool off, enough water and a headgear.... Gourmet stopovers are also planned to taste Corsican charcuterie and cheeses, essential pleasures of hiking on the island of Beauty. So, no more time to waste choosing your next hiking destination!
