The valley of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is most well known for the mountain it’s named after, Western Europe’s highest peak. Yet just right across the valley on its north side lies a dramatic and beautiful range that cuts the horizon with tall rock spires: The Aiguilles Rouges.Part of the Rouges range,...

You start the hike from the big carpark just outside the Cazevieille village (you'll find lots of signs to go there). The beginning is located on the top left corner of the carpark, close to the garbage.Why the carpark is so big ? Because a lot of people go there during summer ! Hikers, climbers ...

You can go there either by car, boat, or bus and then start hiking.I personnally did it using the bus service. It is quite simple, but since we were not in the high season, there was not a lot of bus going there. From Marseille, you need to go to the metro station Castellane and take the bus 19 t...

An easy walk through and all around "La pointe". It's a loop that you can do in both ways. Just follow the tracks. It will take half an hour to do the circle. I did it with flip flops but I recommand proper shoes.

The road to Beauduc plage is already an adventure by itself, most of the navigation systems are getting lost. On top of that, cell phone reception is spotty at its best, so make sure to print some directions before hitting the road!This is a very remote spot on a large beach, the next supermarket...

From the carpark, cross the bridge of Masclac (be carefull, cars are not always friendly) and take West on the path just after the bridge. Follow the old marks red and white., or the yellow dots on the ground. The path is obvious in the middle of the bushes, it goes close to the Lamalou, then up ...

Getting There From Chamonix, it is very easy to get to Le Tour. You can either drive up the valley, bike up the valley or take a cheap shuttle that runs every 15 minutes up and down from Chamonix to Le Tour, and everywhere in between. I took a shuttle up the valley to Argenterie where I rented a ...

You can park your car at the crossroad between the D122 and the D17E6 roads. There are some spaces in the shadow on the side of the road, as well as a little bit further up the road D122 (but no shadow). From the crossroad, take the road D122 going to Rouet (there is a sign) and then after 50m ta...

Explore the Dordogne Valley from the comfort of your own kayak. The sleepy current of the Dordogne River will usher even the laziest of paddlers downstream as you marvel at ancient caves and weathered chateau perched high on the ridge lines.We hired from Vitrac (Copeyre Canoë), 15 minutes drive s...

The Seine river runs through the middle of Paris with many different sights to behold.  It's a great place to take a morning jog or sunset stroll if you want to see Paris. Make several different stops to Notre Dame, the Eiffel Towel, etc. Paris has a lot of bakeries so you can fill up on snacks w...

Visit this square year round and take photographs of the many historic buildings, statues, fountains, and wrought iron. There are plenty of great restaurants around the square to enjoy a local Lorraine lunch. If you have the time, take a walk around and explore as there are several beautiful, his...

Begin your journey in the small town of St. Florent. Reaching the coast, you'll find the entrance of the Desert. The walk between St. Florent and Saleccia Beach is breathtaking but will take the entire day (5H30 one way). There is a nice camping located at Saleccia Beach were you can rest and con...

Great visit to the castle, museum and gardens.  The castle is very impressive. Also took the time to visit the city of Angers.

You start the hike form the hamlet called Gourgas. A nice and typical village from the South of France. At the entrance of the village, take the first road on the right (follow the sign "Parking randonneur"). Follow the road and after it turns left, the parking will be on your right hand side.Ple...

The last 7 kilometers of the road going to the hamlet of Labeil are quite narrow, with not so much space to cross with cars coming from the opposite direction. You'll find also crazy bikers climbing to the hamlet. Be respectful and drive carefully :) You can park your car at the entrance of the h...
