The Gorges du Loup are one of the outstanding nature reserves in the southeast of France. Unfortunately, they are also far away from the coast and difficult to reach, which is why we have long ago placed them on the list of Things We Intend To Do One Day In The Future, somewhere between visiting New Zealand and reading Heidegger.

This was before I found out that there was something called

Having walked into Monaco two weeks ago, today we will take you on another legendary French Riviera Walk: a stroll in Nice down the Promenade des Anglais from where it starts, once around the Baie des Anges past fancy bars and hotels, rows of palm trees and some of the best Mediterranean seascapes of the entire coast.

The view may have changed little in the nearly 200-year long history of the Riviera’s most

Every season in the hiking calendar has its special rewards, but also its specific problems. On the northern Mediterranean rim, at around this time of the year, winter with its forbiddingly short days is coming to a close and the mimosas – those harbingers of spring – brighten up the hillsides with their sparkling yellows.

But at the same time, these days of early spring also increase the risk of rain.

A few months ago, I was mulling over a Guide-Michelin-type of system for hikes and the criteria that such a system might apply to distinguish between one-star, two-star and three-star trails. At the time, I was exploring the idea of finding beauty and joy in (relatively) routine experiences, but the truth of the matter is that all such systems of categorization are not much concerned with such musings, being built strictly from the

If you have the time to spend an entire weekend exploring the Calanques National Park near the southern French port city of Marseilles, we recommend you take the Three Calanques Hike that we described last week. This is without a doubt one of the most glorious and rewarding walks anywhere on the coast of the Northern Mediterranean Sea.

It is, however, also a trifle exhausting, particularly once you have thrown in
