Get a feel for France profonde an hour away from Paris in Santeuil (Val d’Oise). Take this Paris hiking trail in the Valley of the Viosne. Have a break from the shopping and sight seeing you’ve done in the City of Lights and breath the French countryside.
Théoule-sur-Mer may lack the glamour and urban flair of some of its coastal neighbours in the East, but has a nice little walk attached to it Looking back over the Easy Hiker posts from the last six months or so, it strikes me how few of them refer to anything that we have done on…
