France is made for walking — and for walkers who like to take their time. With a vast network of long-distance footpaths, timeless countryside, and charming places to stay, it’s a country where every step tells a story. Whether you’re winding through vineyards in the Luberon, tracing cliffs along the Atlantic coast, or pausing in village squares for a long lunch, France rewards slow, self-guided journeys.
Golden hills, dry-stone villages, and the scent of lavender in the air. Provence is everything you imagine — and more on foot. Walk through the Luberon along the GR6, explore ochre-coloured trails in Roussillon, and stay in guesthouses where walking boots are always welcome.
One of Provence’s most beautiful walking routes, this long-distance trail takes you through olive groves, vineyards, and perched hill towns like Bonnieux, Lacoste, and Oppède-le-Vieux. Stay in local guesthouses and move at your own pace along this dry, scenic, sunlit path.
