The climate is warm, the vineyards stretch out below you, and above is the towering Espinouse Massif. The Languedoc has for too long been in the shadow of Provence. Sharing the same Mediterranean climate and vegetation, it has not had done to it what Peter Mayle did for the Luberon - yet!

Close by is the valley of Lac du Salagou, an enormous man-made lake surrounded by impressive hills. A little fur…

Uitstekende wandelgids van dit geweldige gebied. goed beschreven met veel praktische informatie om de route te kunnen lopen, inclusief redelijke kaarten. This guide describes the eleven-day 163km Tour of the Vanoise and the five-day 72km Tour des Glaciers de la Vanoise, two fantastic hut-to-hut treks through the pristine Alpine landscapes of France's Vanoise National Park.
