Walking in the Gardens of the French Riviera
In our week's French walking holiday on the Cote d'Azur our garden visits will be combined with local walks - for example the Friedrich Nietzsche path from Eze down to the sea or the walk around the peninsula at Cap Ferrat. Under the Mediterranean sun Nice and the Cote d'Azur offer some garden gems.

Pays Cathare
South from Toulouse to the Mediterranean lies some of the most awe-inspiring medieval fortresses in Europe – the ‘Cathar castles’, perched high on cliff faces and rock pinnacles, seemingly impregnable. This holiday will allow you to explore these castles and walk this historic route once taken by the Cathars themselves, reliving a moment of medieval history in France.

Iles d'Or - Golden Islands
These island jewels, just off the coast of la presequile de Giens, are on the most southern point of Provence. We plan to walk on two of these three stunning islands, with a series of circular walks exploring the coastlines, inland flora and fauna and ruined forts.

Pedalling through Burgundy
Burgundy has pretty much everything you need for a great holiday cycling and walking. It is criss-crossed by a network of canals whose towpaths provide wonderfully varied cycling and yet are virtually flat and traffic free.
