Walking Holidays in France

Our walking holidays in France take you through one of Europe's most richly varied walking destinations — where snow-capped Alpine peaks give way to sun-drenched Provençal countryside, ancient pilgrim trails wind through medieval villages, and the food and wine are as much a part of the experience as the trails themselves. Travel with a small group of like-minded fellow walkers, led by expert guides who know France intimately. 


✔ Book early and pay less — save £40 per person when you book six months ahead.

Our France Walking Holidays

France is a country that reveals itself differently depending on where you walk, and we know exactly where to take you.

Come with us to the Alps for our guided and self-guided Tour du Mont Blanc holidays, where high balcony trails and snow-kissed peaks make for some of the most dramatic walking in Europe. For something more leisurely, let us lead you through the perfumed olive groves and lavender fields of Provence, past Roman aqueducts and into papal Avignon — where a shady pavement bistro and a glass of Châteauneuf du Pape are never far from the trail.

History lovers will find France endlessly rewarding. Walk with us along the Route St Jacques, where ancient shrines and chivalric tales of the legendary Beast of Gévaudan line the pilgrim trail. Or let us take you to the secret cliff-side village of Rocamadour, where monastic buildings and tiny stone houses are carved straight into the rugged limestone — a sight that stops even seasoned walkers in their tracks.

Across the Pyrenean foothills, the ghostly Cathar castles of Peyrepertuse and Quéribus rise above the landscape like something from a medieval chronicle. And in the Loire Valley, we'll walk you through a land of fairytale châteaux, riverside meadows and some of France's most celebrated vineyards — a gentle, utterly French kind of walking day.

Why Walk in France with Us?

France suits every pace and every kind of walker. Its network of well-maintained trails, the famous Grandes Randonnées, covers thousands of miles of varied terrain, from coastal clifftops and volcanic plateaus to Alpine ridges and river valleys rich with wildflowers. Our small groups mean you experience it properly rather than in passing, with expert local guides who know the hidden corners, the stories behind the landscapes, and the best table in every village.

France is also one of the few destinations where the culture and the walking are genuinely inseparable. The evening meal after a long day on the trail, the local market on a rest day, the glass of wine poured by a vigneron who's worked the same land for generations: these moments are as much a part of a Ramble Worldwide France holiday as the miles covered. Arrive as a group of strangers and you'll leave feeling like you've shared something rather special.
