Find your hiking itinerary on Provence Web
Choose your itinerary: there are several thousand kilometres of signposted footpaths for all levels and lengths of hike. On Provence Web you'll find the long-distance footpaths (more than 6 GR in the region) that cross each département, but there are also several hundred kilometres of short-distance footpaths carefully signposted by each département (but too many to list here).
You can set off simply with the help of a map, or be accompanied by a professional guide who will have carefully prepared everything for you.
The Tourist Offices have listed and maintained unusual walking routes. You can also read our article on the 6 most beautiful family walks in Provence here.
