]]>Camargue Regional National Park
This wetland wonderland is situated on the south coast, near the city of Marseilles. It is famed for its native flocks of flamingoes, but there are plenty of other wetlands and wading birds to see. Although this area of France is incredibly popular, the Camargue maintains a sense of peace and tranquillity, so it’s a must-visit if you’re seeking some relaxing time in nature.
Morvan National Regional Park
Situated in the province of Burgundy, this gorgeous national park offers plenty of idyllic woodland walks, traditional farmsteads, and bucolic fields. This landscape is best visited in high spring or early summer, but the trees will also look stunning in the fall. There are many well-marked trails through the national park, so you can enjoy a relaxing ramble or a more strenuous climb, depending on what you’re looking for.
The Ardeche Mountains National Regional Park
These mountains are located in the southeast of the country. While they may not be quite as big or as bold as the famous Alps, there are plenty of reasons to visit this range. The hiking and climbing trails here are generally much more accessible for beginners than those found in the Alps, and there are plenty of stunning views from the mountains, stretching out across the Massif Centrale.

]]>Crepes
If you enjoy pancakes, then Brittany is the place for you. You will find little cafes and street stalls all around which will cook crepes for you on a large hot plate in a traditional way which is beautiful to watch and delicious to eat. You can choose from a range of toppings such as lemon and sugar, salted caramel, or fresh fruit.
Kouign Amann
This sweet pastry is quintessentially Breton. It’s rich and buttery and super decadent. It’s made up of dough swirled around into a spiral and drenched in butter and sugar. These indulgent treats are unique to the area and will complete your trip.
Galettes
Made in a very similar way to crepes, but so different in the end result. Galettes are made with buckwheat flour which gives them a heavy, savory quality which makes them ideal for a tasty meal. Most of the venues offering crepes will also be making galettes, and if you’re after a savory dish then this is ideal. Classic toppings include cheese, ham, egg, and various vegetables.

]]>Hope Cove to Salcombe, Devon, UK
Start at the tiny fishing village of Hope Cove (get there early in summer so that parking is still available). As you head out of the village, following the well-marked trail, you will quickly climb through some woods. As you emerge from these, you will find yourself on top of a cliff with unbelieveable views to the east and west. Walking to Salcombe, the next major settlement, will take about four hours, and the terrain is quite steep. However, there are plenty of coves to stop and rest in along the way (you can even go for a quick swim if it’s warm enough), and there are enough farm shops and cafes to keep you well fuelled. In Salcombe itself, there are lots of bars and restaurants, and gorgeous sandy beaches where you can rest your weary feet.
Louannec to Perros-Guirec, Brittany, France
The northern coast of France can be wild and windswept, but it is also full of charm and beauty. This section of the coast path takes in the famous ‘Pink Granite Coast’, so look out for the awesome rose-tinted rock formations. Perros-Guirec is a large town where you will find many facilities, including some great cafes and restaurants. Louannec isn’t far, but take the walk slowly so you can admire the light on the sea and those fascinating granite monoliths.
Positano to Conca dei Marini, Naples, Italy
The footpath that winds around the awe-inspiring coastline just south of Naples is known as the ‘footpath of the gods’, and for good reason. Expect challenging terrain, with narrow paths and steep ascents and descents. The reward for all your hard work? Some of the best views in Italy, as you stand high above the azure sea and watch the world go on below you. There are many stunning villages and towns in this area (the resort of Sorrento being the most famous), and you can always find refreshments en route. If you’re going in the summer, avoid walking during the midday sun, as there is little shade on this walk.

]]>Galette-Saucisse
Tourists in France’s northwest region of Brittany should be sure to try the galette-saucisse, a simple yet satisfying snack made from a grilled pork sausage wrapped in a buckwheat pancake. In addition to being a popular street food, locals often enjoy it during football games and other outdoor events.
Socca
Originating from the coastal city of Nice, socca is a type of chickpea flour pancake traditionally seasoned with olive oil and black pepper.

(@ophelie_collignon)Crêpes
No list of French street foods would be complete without crêpes, the iconic thin pancakes that serve as a staple of Parisian cuisine. Made with a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk, crêpes can be enjoyed as either sweet or savory depending on the other ingredients they’re served with. Try veggies and cheese for a flavorful snack, or berries and Nutella for dessert.
