The Rother Hiking Guide to Provence, one of the first on the regions Ardèche and Verdon, Mont Ventoux and Calanques, imparts a colourful variety of hiking trip options to satisfy every taste: classic hikes are presented that every visitor to Provence should take, as well as solitary trails which can still be considered as insider tips. Families with children will enjoy pleasant beach hikes in the Camargue and varied hikes through woods and vineyards in the hinterland. Ambitious hikers, on the other hand, will not be able to resist challenging excursions to famous gorges and peaks of up to 2000 metres.

The guide contains over 75 photos, and route descriptions are accompanied by 50 maps at 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:150,000 scales.Two overview maps are given at 1:1,000.000 and 1:2,500,000.

About this series:

Rother Walking Guides were first published in 1920- since then Bergverlag Rother have continued to produce these comprehensive guides to “the finest valley and mountain walks”.

Each book has a detailed description of walks, small walking maps and many tips on combining the walks, places of interest, accommodation and public transport; the guides are all in full colour with varying scales and types of cartography - the walks themselves vary from day-long hikes to mountain and valley walks, with varying levels of ease and difficulty indicated.
Small enough to fit in your pocket, comprehensive enough to take you everywhere; the books are printed in paperback but with a polytex-laminated cover, making them extremely durable too.
