Greetings to hikers worldwide and especially to Francophiles!
Now that the main season for walking holidays in France is back – viz., September through to June - staff at Walking in Languedoc are too busy enjoying the fruits of the French countryside to have time to write a blog. Instead, we have decided to ask French nationals who live and hike in the south of France to come onsite and write about their own hiking experiences, interests and passions through the medium of English - with a little help from us where they wander off into Franglais or ‘Occi-American.’
Hiking the Garrigue
We want to give them as much free reign as possible and do not plan to watch over their shoulders as they put finger to keyboard and get creative. We might not agree with what they say, but as long as they express their opinions in a clear, constructive and courteous manner, Walking in Languedoc is happy to give them the platform.
