Western Provence Sunflower Walking Guide

The go-to Western Provence walking guide for over 30 years. 

Strap on your boots and discover Western Provence on foot with the Sunflower Languedoc-Roussillon and Western Provence travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. 

The Sunflower Western Provence guide is indispensable for hiking in Western Provence or seeing Western Provence by car. We cover an area beginning at Aix-en-Provence, heading west via the Lubéron and Mont Ventoux to the great Roman cities and the Pont du Gard. We travel north to the Ardèche, the Tarn and the Cirque de Navacelles and south through Hérault to Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi, crossing the Corbières and the Land of the Cathars to the foot of Canigou, holy mountain of the Pyrenees. These are not tough GR routes, but mostly circular treks suitable for moderately fit people.
