Walking in Provence - West Cicerone guidebook

This Guide describes 30 days of hikes in western Provence in the Drome Provencale, Vaucluse and Var, with practical information.

The walking is incredibly diverse; from the green waves of the Barronies hills in Drôme Provençale, to the unforgettable silhouette of Mont Ventoux giving way to limestone plateaux cut with ravines in the Vaucluse. Further south lies Var, containing rock and wood-strewn hills inland, and a coast full of knarled inlets and hidden beaches.

The sun of Provence and the Mediterranean charm attracts many visitors on the coast, but the region also has much to offer the hiker. The campaign offers a stunning range of landscapes, summits, spectacular gorges. History is everywhere, in the medieval villages, the arcaded streets, abbeys, churches and castles.

Suitable for all walkers of average fitness levels, the walks range from 4 to 21 kilometres, and are graded for difficulty from short, easy routes to more challenging walks that can include precipitous sections, but no special equipment is needed.walks illustrated with clear sketch maps and height profiles, as well as inspiring photographs
