One of the titles in an extensive series of light, A5-size, high quality paperback guides with colour extracts from the French topographic survey at 1:25,000 or 1:50,000, overprinted with local hiking routes. Each guide offers a selection of day walks of different length and difficulty of terrain, all clearly graded. The descriptions provide information on various places of interest along the routes and directions for special points marked on the accompanying maps. All the text is in French, but there is also a fair amount of information conveyed by symbols: waymarking, parking facilities, villages with local shops, cafes and restaurants, etc. The guides have numerous photos and drawings of local flora and fauna, and are published by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée in association with local authorities, ramblers’ clubs, etc.

The guides with day walks are indicated on the accompanying series grid by yellow or blue boxes.
