Comment from Philippa Burne
There are 120,000 miles (180,000 km) of hiking trails in France so what are you waiting for? Strap on those walking boots and let’s go.
Possibly the greatest challenge you’ll face is where to go. France has many different types of landscape from coastal to the heights of Mont Blanc, from the softness of Provence to the peaks of the Cantal Volcano, Europe’s largest dormant volcano.
