The trek was AMAZING!!! Variable views, every day is different! Many places to drink water on the way (don't take more than 1.5L). Very easy to nevigate, not so hard for ppl with good fitness. Highly recommended :)))

Frequently asked questions for hikes in France
Spring and autumn are considered ideal for hiking due to moderate temperatures and less crowded trails. Regions such as Provence and the Loire Valley burst into a riot of colors, offering a picturesque backdrop for your adventure. Be prepared for rain, however, as these are France's wettest seasons.
Summer, particularly June to August, is perfect for exploring cooler areas like Brittany or the high-altitude trails in the Alps and Pyrenees. However, with France being a popular tourist destination, anticipate larger crowds. Additionally, southern regions can become excessively hot, necessitating hydration and sun protection.
