Behind the French Riviera’s glamour hide these incredibly beautiful, timeless villages that are both nestled in lush Provençal valleys and perched precariously atop rocky cliffs. The ancient paths wind their way via villages, through forests and follow majestic olive groves.
Start off in the ancient town of Sospel, enjoy the Italian influence of the region (the walk includes a brief foray into Italy), and make your way through to Menton, probably the prettiest town on the French Riviera.
This walk showcases the diversity of the region, with serene wooded valleys, lavender fields, ancient villages, cobbled streets, panoramic ocean views and ancient architectural treasures. Say bonjour to this wonderful walk!
Note: if you’re pushed for time, the 5 day option follows the same itinerary with the exception of another night in St Agnes and the Cime de Baudon walk.
All the accommodations have been handpicked to reflect the character and history of the region. From elegant guesthouses, and small charming hotels, to family-run Auberges, you can be assured that wherever you stay you will be warmly welcomed. The accommodations are 3 stars with an emphasis on location and the ambience of the region. We will endeavour to book all the accommodation listed below, but in the unlikely event we can’t, we will substitute something of equal quality.
Breakfasts are continental Provence style and typical of the region, as are the 3 courses a la carte dinners that are provided.
Importantly, in your notes, we will include a dossier with handpicked real local recommendations for evening meals in restaurants where the locals like to eat.
Since the region is world-famous, we suggest adding a day or two to truly savour all that it has to offer.
Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).
This walk is available all year round. Please note there will be an additional supplement if you book in the last week of May to coincide with the Monaco Grand Prix. Please speak to one of our destination consultants if you need more information.

The walk is moderate with some small ascents. Full-day walks average about 13km with 4.5 – 6 Hours of walking each day. There is plenty of opportunities to add more walking if you’re up for it. The walking is over very old well-maintained paths via the most scenic pathway to the coast. This is a beautiful area with many fabulous historic attractions on top of the fabulous walking routes. We highly recommend that you incorporate some extra time after the walk to rest but also to fully immerse yourself in Provence and the Cote d’Azur.
For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice in our FAQ section.
From March the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season is by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue.)
See the weather information about average temperatures and rainfall at different times of the year.
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
For nearly 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions.
