Invaluble Guide For Walking Enthusiasts

Used this book on a 10 day break from New York City in October. We were yearning for some good day hikes, great food and wine, and an authentic feel for the region. This book helped steer us to all three. We did three walks from the book: Le Cousson (our favorite of the three), North Side of Luberon (entirely covered by mist the day we did it), and La Gambade (Dentelles de Montmirail). The color photos from almost every walk, detailed and interesting walk descriptions, and excellent directions for navigating trails with varying degrees of sign-posting were all very useful. This book is small enough to tote around with you daily, has great tips on town highlights and where best to base yourself for walking, and enticing walks with great, detailed descriptions. I wished we had more time to try more of the walks! The small maps for each walk are only somewhat useful--offshoots of the trail are barely indicated, which can be confusing. Also, we are two moderately fit 30 year-olds, and we found some of the walks a little more vigorous than suggested by Janette. Our times to do each walk were pretty close to those suggested in the book. We stop to take a lot of photos and gawk at views, so in general we erred on the side of taking longer to do each walk than Janette indicates (but not by much). We also relied heavily on "Best Of Provence," a great, general, short-and-sweet guide book for the region. Thanks for a wonderful, unique guide, Janette!
