Self-Catering Walking Holidays

Below you you'll find a list of self-catering walking and activity holidays in France. They are designed to offer independent walking and activity based holidays to those people who are looking for maximum flexibility. Each holiday page is by region. Some regions have more than one rental property on offer. These are detailed in the "Accommodation and price" tab.

We have selected some of the best and (sometimes unusual) historic properties (villas, chalets, cottages etc) set in beautiful regions where great walks, activities and sight seeing is all close by. We also offer some good value properties for those looking for a budget walking holiday. We will supply customers with information about the area as well as suggested walks. You can do as much or as little walking as you wish.
