This is the second edition of the second book of a two-volume guide to Provence, written by the authors of the prize-winning "Landscapes of Madeira". It is intended for motorists who want to tour the most beautiful roads in western Provence and Languedoc/Roussillon and enjoy some superb walks along the way. Beginning at Aix-en-Provence, you travel west via the Luberon and Mont Ventoux to the great Roman cities and the Pont du Gard. After forays north to the Ardeche, the Tarn and the Cirque de Navacelles, head south through Herault to Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi. Crossing the Corbieres and the Land of the Cathars, you reach the foot of Canigou, holy mountain of the Pyrenees. The book is also ideal for those taking city breaks to southern France with the budget airlines. From bases like Carcassonne, Perpignan, Nimes, Marseille, Montpellier many walks and tours lie within easy reach. The touring routes have been described in such detail that there is no need to make constant reference to a map. The walks selected - all set in areas of great natural beauty and historical interest - are those the authors believe offer the greatest sense of satisfaction for the effort involved. These are not tough GR routes, but mostly circular walks suitable for moderately fit people.
