Explore Authentic Rural France

 Hike a region known throughout Europe for its spectacular scenery and outdoor adventures.

A Country Adventure

Hike dramatic landscapes or ramble through the most charming villages scattered beneath the Canigou,  known as sacred to  the Catalan people and described as "a magician among mountains" by Rudyard Kipling, who, along with many artists, fell in love with this very special place. 

Climb to mountain peaks for breathtaking views.  

Walk bridges suspended above cascading waterfalls. 

Pause in villages to explore ancient churches.

Rejuvenate in a yoga session, soak in sulfurous hot springs, and take a fun cooking class in this most spectacular region of the south of France.
