Trekking in France
The Cevennes National Park is an ideal area for trekking and walking as the mountain ranges have many summits which are rounded by erosion and therefore the tracks leading across the tops are undulating but with great views. They also duck in and out of forests and traverse moorland so the range of scenery is wide. The minor roads are very under used and it can be very rewarding to stumble across an abandoned village and then see that the houses are being slowly rebuilt as townspeople come back to spend holidays and weekends. The Area to the South East of "The Eagles Nest" is also steeped in history as the Knights Templer had farms and hospitals in the cool high uplands and Knights coming back injured from the Crusades would be brought here to recover. Modern day tourism has also left its mark and over the top of Mt.Lozere ski runs and lodges have been built. However for those wanting to immerse themselves in rural France there are many great routes away from the more used areas and you can be sure of a lot of peace and tranquillity as well as wonderful views and not forgetting to incorporate a traditional lunch on the way!
As with our Moroccan Centre groups can use the area as they will, either using the "Nest" as a base and planning treks on a return basis or moving away and planning a longer route with support from the Centre if this is required. Again its worth discussing your plans with our UK office who have a lot of experience in suggesting routes and itineraries built into your stay and because of our flexibility we can incorporate your needs into the day to day practicality of any unpredictable weather.
