Guide to walking from the Côte d'Azur to the Massif Central, including a trek along the Grand Canyon of the Verdon, and an ascent of Mont Ventoux, the highest summit in mainland France outside the Alps and Pyrenees. Mainly follows the GR4, also parts of GR6 and GR9 and visits the gorges of Verdon, Oppedette, Ardeche and Chassezac. Provence and Ardèche offer some of the most delectable walking in all France. This 320 mile route, in 26 daily stages, is full of variety, visiting Provençal mountain villages, fields of lavender, limestone mountains and the world-famous vineyards of the Rhône valley. Excellent public transport enables the walk to be easily divided into one- or two-week holidays. Details of accommodation, transport and other facilities on and off route are included, as well as invaluable practical information for newcomers to walking in France. Those visiting the area on holiday can sample parts of the trail by a number of day walks.
Alan has trekked in over twenty-five countries within Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and Australasia, and for seventeen years led organised walking holidays in several European countries. A member of the British Outdoor Writers' Guild, he has written more than a dozen walking guidebooks, several on long distance mountain routes in France. His longest solo walks include a Grand Traverse of the European Alps between Nice and Vienna (1510 miles), the Pilgrim's Trail from Le Puy to Santiago de Compostela (960 miles) and a Coast-to-Coast across the French Pyrenees (540 miles). A Munroist and erstwhile National Secretary and Long Distance Path Information Officer of the Long Distance Walkers Association, Alan now lives at the foot of the Moffat Hills in Scotland, in the heart of the Southern Uplands.
