France on foot.com

Submitted by administrator on Mon, 07/08/2006 - 01:17
France on foot.com - Web page
This site is dedicated to the little known French trail system, which is made up of an astounding 110,000 miles of off-road foot paths. The author has written a book, France on Foot, that explains in detail how to take a walking vacation in France on your own, and the book is, of course, covered here. But the main reason I maintain the site is to post current news about all the changes, resources and links I have learned about since the book was published.
