It is hardly surprising that France has its own proposal for Rando Bistrot! In Provence, both gastronomy and the possibilities for active holidays are top notch
Combine active holiday in Provence and Provencal cuisine Aioli, stuffed vegetables, pan bagnat, gnocchi, courgette, pies, anchovies, pissaladière, olives or socca are just some of the specialties from Provence that can be on the menu at a Rando Bistrot (= hiking and restaurant). If you are above average interested in food (as several of us here at Atout France are), in Provence you can join walks from one of Provence's many Bistrots. These are casual walks or more sporty walks accompanied by a qualified professional guide. You will have the pleasure of discovering an area by meeting local producers or artisans who convey their passion for a selected specialty. You can also enjoy the flavors of a region rich in products and with gourmet breaks at a table at a «Bistrot de Pays» with the region's products on the plate.

Happy Hiking in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur What could be better than a region with azure blue water, where you can both walk, run, be filled with fresh air and get rid of any kind of stress? Provence consists of no less than four national parks, nine regional nature reserves and approximately 15,000 km of hiking trails. With the Mistral wind and the fantastic sunshine, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is a real paradise for hikers - for example, one of these trips:
Grand Tour des Écrins: Explore the Ecrins National Parks on one or more of the 17 different routes and in lengths from 2 to 15 days.
*Grande Traversée du Mercantour: :** Passes Haut-Verdon, Haut-Var, Tinée, Vésubie, Roya and Bévéra.
Grande Traversée des PréAlpes:* Runs from Sisteron to Entrevaux through Haute-Provence and is Europe's highest regional nature reserve. This area is a must for hikers and mountain bikers.
