Hiking in the Baronnies with Hilary Sharp

Hilary Sharp, English teacher and montain guide propose hiking in the region. To learn english in a relax way. English particular courses. Also hikes in French.

Hikes are offered throughout the Baronnies region: we can do valley hikes alongside meandering rivers bordered by olive groves and lavender fields, or climb up to high passes which offer fabulous far-reaching views; or we can aim for one of many very amenable summits for that buzz of achievement with no need for any technical skills. We'll often see vultures soaring overhead, which is really exciting. There are also a number of historical sites to visit along the way, such as ancient castles, Roman aqueducts and medieval villages. If the iconic Mont Ventoux is calling you, why drive up when you can do one of a the challenging and beautiful footpaths to the summit, which will provide incredibly varied hiking from the mediterranean forest on the lower slopes up through alpine vegetation to the barren wind sculpted summit moonscape....an unforgettable journey, and far more exciting on foot than in the car.

For those of you who'd like to take advantage of my diploma as an English teacher, I offer a range of English walking courses: for half a day, a day, or even 2 hours of walking lessons, you can take your first steps in English, polish your English for work or travel, or with the kids catch up on schoolwork....all in the relaxed environment of the Baronnies trails. Why not!
