Rother’s Walking Guide to the Côte d` Azur covers 44 day & multiple-day excursions between Meton & Marseille. The guide
Includes:: tours that range from walks on the Îles de Lérins over beach hikes at St. Tropez to solid mountain tours in the Massiv de I` Estérel or the Lake Alps; the famous crossing of the Calanques & a long-distance tour in 15 stages from Menton to Marseille round off the tour suggestions. These are all complemented by hiking maps at 1:50, 000, 1:75, 000 & 1:100, 000 scales & one overview map for planning. The guide takes care to choose paths away from the flows of tourism; all proposed tours can be reached by public transport, which was the author`s exclusive means of transportation. The guide
Includes:: a wealth of information, stating the bus & train lines as well as telephone numbers of the respective points of arrival. All of this is supplemented by details on accommodation (with telephone numbers), tips on sites & possible tour combinations. About this series: Rother Walking Guides were first published in 1920- since then Bergverlag Rother have continued to produce these comprehensive guides to “the finest valley & mountain walks”. Each book has a detailed description of walks, small walking maps & many tips on combining the walks, places of interest, accommodation & public transport; the guides are all in full colour with varying scales & types of cartography
- the walks themselves vary from day-long hikes to mountain & valley walks, with varying levels of ease & difficulty indicated. Small enough to fit in your pocket, comprehensive enough to take you everywhere; the books are printed in paperback but with a polytex-laminated cover, making them extremely durable too.
