It's not easy to choose among the thousands of km of hiking trails in our country. Our inspirations.
Do you like hiking? So here are five ideas for circuits to prepare for a weekend and sometimes longer, with the promise of discovering an authentic fragment of France. In the crazy range of possibilities in France (Corsica deserves an entire file, Reunion too) these escapes, possible from spring, guarantee a good dose of wonder.
The most wonderful: the Vermeille coast, between sea and mountains
From the Vermilion Coast to the Costa Brava

The Vermeille coast, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, and, in its extension, the Costa Brava, in Catalonia, radiate light and intoxicate with flavors. Between sea and mountains, Matisse, Derain, Maillol and Dalí discovered a little paradise there. This hike offers just about everything one could want.

The most unexpected: in the salt marshes around Guérande
From the walls of the city of Loire-Atlantique to the salt-producing village of Saillé, a 13 km route winds between the bocage of the Côte d'Amour and the mosaic of the glowing ponds of the “Pays Blanc”.

The karst landscapes of Haute Soule have been slashed by impetuous and noisy torrents. A suspension bridge originally built for loggers now allows hikers to make a loop in the heart of these grandiose settings: Haute Soule is certainly the most mountainous and wildest territory in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

The most contemplative: stage hike in the Fiz, the “Dolomites” of Haut-Giffre
David Genestal
In Haute-Savoie, the Fiz chain raises its 600 meter high cliffs facing the roof of Europe. A 5-day itinerant hike with nights in a refuge and feasible with children offers a discovery of this massif which has remained little-known in the face of the omnipotence of its neighbors, Mont-Blanc, Aiguilles Rouges or Dents Blanches. An ideal hike to do in summer.

Canyons of black earth, monumental clues, deformed cirques… The reliefs of the Prealps of Digne offer an astonishing diversity. The route is brightened up by works by contemporary artists to take a different look at the mountain
