september 2026 Hiking between the Causse and the Lot Valley, in the heart of the Quercy region
Translated from French
I wasn't particularly impressed by the first hike (nice scenery but nothing extraordinary), but the others were much more so. The gîte was fantastic, the hosts were very friendly (offering great advice and attentive service), the meals were delicious, and the swimming pool was a real bonus for cooling off after a long walk.

september 2026 Hiking and dog-friendly holiday in the Gard region with your dog
Translated from French
A brief, timeless escape in an incredible setting, in the capable hands of a fantastic coach who was absolutely lovely with everyone, humans and dogs alike! The location is wonderful, and the hikes are truly magnificent! A minor point regarding the meal arrangements, which could be improved on the first evening, as well as the picnics, which were a bit basic (one sandwich and one cake) and not very practical to carry if you haven't brought your own bag or picnic container. But these are just a few details that would make this stay absolutely perfect! ;)

The stay was incredibly enjoyable thanks to Andreea's kindness and ability to bring the whole team together. Her approach with the dogs is fascinating and allows them to settle in calmly within a brand new group. The weekend was packed with activities, and we ate very well. A huge thank you for this wonderful experience, both of the location and the doga (dog kennel).

Focus on what matters: explore the Massif Central

A maximum of trails in complete serenity

A paradise for sports holidays, the Massif Central and its large preserved natural spaces is one of the best spots in France to organize your next active holiday.
From the peaks of the Auvergne volcanoes, through the Grands Causses, both protected by their respective regional natural parks, the Tarn gorges or the Larzac plateau, the choice of playground is vast.
Whether you're wearing hiking boots or hopping on your bike, set off across the great outdoors, far from the crowds, for a rejuvenating journey!

On the roads to Compostela

Hiking, the spiritual version

With its many variations and iterations, the Camino de Santiago, originally a pilgrimage route, appeals to a much wider audience. Stretching over 700 kilometers between Le Puy-en-Velay and the Spanish border, the French section of the route presents a true sporting challenge for hikers. The most adventurous can even consider continuing on to Santiago de Compostela!
A rich historical and religious heritage, an undeniable mystical and spiritual dimension, an incredible variety of landscapes: a complete adventure awaits you.
And for those who wish, please note that the route can also be done by bicycle.

Get some fresh air in Lozère

Escape into tranquility

Lozère, the least populated department in France, has natural and cultural riches that are worth a visit.
With its Causses classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its charming small villages, the Tarn or Jonte gorges, the setting is ideal for an active stay, on foot or by bike.
So, let's get in the saddle for a holiday away from the crowds, focused on sport, without forgetting comfort.
Take the opportunity to discover local specialties, such as sheep or goat cheeses, or traditional dishes like truffade and aligot, and recharge your batteries for the next day!
