Presentation
I invite you to come and take the time to contemplate the landscapes and appreciate the present moment!
The guided walks I organise throughout the year are mainly aimed at groups already formed, but I also offer thematic outings open to all. Whether you are alone (private commitment) or a whole club of hikers in coach, I can provide answers to your requests thanks to my experience and my professional network.
From "7 to 77 years old" (and beyond in fact), I adapt the activities to your desires in complete safety: from bucolic walks to sporty hikes, from nature activities for schoolchildren to the discovery of the local heritage on paths full of history. We will often be interested in the flora and fauna of the area, as well as in geology (my first profession) or in the history and inhabitants; but also in more sensitive approaches to reconnect with nature, such as listening to the sounds of the night or admiring the beauty of a starry sky.
You want to go hiking in the South of France?
Don't hesitate to contact me, I will help you choose your itinerary, whether you prefer the wide forest paths of the Maures massif, or the narrow coastal paths facing the Grande Bleue.
Nearby, the islands of Hyères and Giens are a must, with the Port-Cros and Porquerolles National Park, of which I have been a partner since 2004. We can also explore together the Caps de Saint-Tropez and their creeks, or the Monts toulonnais and their limestone belvederes.
A little further away? Calanques, Sainte-Baume, Sainte-Victoire, Verdon, Estérel, Mercantour and many other corners of the Southern Alps, such as the Vallée des Merveilles, are all great destinations for walking. I will be happy to show you around.
See you soon on the trails!
