Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of Provence with our France inn-to-inn hiking adventure. This 8-day journey weaves through the heart of Provence and Luberon, offering a unique blend of breathtaking landscapes, charming hilltop villages, and the rich cultural heritage of Southern France.
Provence, a region known for its vibrant lavender fields, sun-drenched vineyards, and olive groves, is a feast for the senses. The Luberon, a mountainous massif in the heart of Provence, is home to some of the region's most picturesque towns.
From the rustic charm of Bonnieux to the ochre cliffs of Roussillon and the fortress-crowned Gordes, each settlement in the itinerary is a gem waiting to be discovered.
The hikes on this tour are a journey in themselves. Following undulating paths across hilly terrain, you'll be treated to stunning views of the Provencal countryside. The ambience of old stone villages, vineyards, and ever-changing landscapes makes every step of the journey a delight.
We take care of the details so you can focus on the experience. We oversee and book all accommodations, provide a detailed handout with a day-by-day itinerary, and equip you with a user-friendly app for GPS navigation.
Our handpicked local recommendations ensure you get the most out of each location, and we're always on hand to solve any logistical issues.
Don't just dream about the sun-kissed vineyards and the scent of lavender in the air – come and experience it for yourself! After all, life's too short for 'what ifs', and there's a glass of Provencal rosé with your name on it waiting at the end of a picturesque trail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ratings & Reviews
My walking holiday in Chamonix and the French Alps was unforgettable. Each day brought stunning views of towering peaks, alpine meadows, and glacial streams. The routes were well-marked and varied in difficulty, making it easy to tailor the days to my pace. The accommodations were charming and perfectly situated for breathtaking morning views. Lan was so helpful in suggesting how to make the most of my time in the region, and their support made the whole trip seamless. If you love mountains and fresh air, this trip is a must!
My walking holiday in Brittany was a peaceful escape. The coastal paths offered stunning views of dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and charming fishing villages. The inland trails led through lush forests and past ancient landmarks like standing stones and medieval chapels. Samo and Anja made planning so easy with their detailed itineraries and helpful advice. The accommodations were cozy and full of local character, and I loved being able to sample the region’s incredible seafood. Brittany’s beauty is truly timeless!
We chose Walking Tours in Brittany because they offered a self-guided tour. They were extremely helpful before we left and during the trip when a few small issues arose. They responded immediately and solved each issue quickly. Their written guide was very informative and explained how to prepare for this adventure and an adventure it was. We saw the most extraordinary land and seascapes. The hike was challenging at times but well worth the effort.
Walking Holidays Slovenia is great! They provided all of the information and made the arrangements for our self guided walk in Triglav National Park. We hiked to Vodnikov Dom the first day, then to the Seven Lakes Basin the second day, then back to Ribcev Laz the third day. The trails were well marked, and the GPS app recommended by Walking Holidays Slovenia was very helpful for keeping us on track. The trails were very rocky in places, which was a bit of a challenge for us, but it was so beautiful! Very much recommend this company!
