Secret France: Walking in the Ardeche - 8 Days - Summer tours
Looking for a walking adventure far from the guidebook crowds? The 'Secret France: Walking in the Ardeche – 8 Days' tour uncovers a hidden corner of the Massif Central where the Ardeche, Loire, and Haute Loire regions meet. This self-guided trek leads you through ancient drove roads, chestnut forests, terraced slopes, and half-forgotten valleys, offering a true escape into rural France.
From Lamastre, the route takes you north to the spa town of Lalouvesc—perched high above the Rhone valley—then across flower-filled meadows and past mountain lakes to the market town of St Agreve. Along the way, explore ruined farmhouses and chateaux, dip into the Lac de Devesset, and wander through hamlets where traditional life continues much as it has for generations.
The moderate walking tour is punctuated by comfortable hotel stays and hearty local meals, with each day promising new sights and tranquil moments in nature. The region’s authenticity is its greatest asset—you’ll often find yourself accompanied only by the sounds of goats, streams, and birdsong.
The unique selling point of this trip is its genuine off-the-beaten-path experience, perfect for travelers who relish slow travel, unspoiled landscapes, and a deep connection with France’s rural heritage.
