Our Range of walking tours France
We have selected arguably some of the best walking tours France has to offer. The full range can be viewed below and they are one-week or more in duration. If you are looking for short walking tours and short walking breaks in France, please click here.
Our tours comprise accommodation, breakfast, the finest of walking notes and comprehensive logistical support. You pay the hotels directly for any packed lunches and dinners you require, making the overall cost of your walking tour more affordable. Moreover, this makes our tours ideal walking for vegetarians and vegans. Detailed information on food options en route is contained in your walking dossier, which you receive four weeks before your departure.
Remember, we classify our tours into four types: click the links below to go straight to the tour type you are looking for.
- Urban rambling tours
- Full-day trekking or walking tours
- Light hiking tours, for which you need to hire a car or use your own car.
Tours are also classified into four levels of physical exertion: Light (L), Moderate (M), Moderately Challenging (MC) and Challenging (C). This labelling is placed in parenthesis beside each tour title and can be found in the full listing below. AS a general rule of thumb, note that tours that are referred to as 'rambling' or 'hiking' are always 'light' in nature, with greater levels of physical challenge to found among tours labelled as either walking or trekking tours. For more information on our classification system, click here.
