Our agency
The story of Walks in France is inseparable from the Way of St James. To this day, the Camino de Santiago routes remain at the heart of what we do. We were one of the very first organisations to support pilgrims setting out on this trail. Transferring luggage from stage to stage, booking all the accommodation along the route: this is what makes the Camino accessible to everyone, especially for those taking their first steps.
With over 35 years on the trail, Walks in France is now the leading specialist in organising Camino de Santiago walking holidays, and a trusted name in self-guided walking holidays across France and beyond.
Whether you want to walk one of our legendary trails, follow a wild coastline or head into the mountains, in France or further afield, travelling with us means discovering a country or region on foot, at your own pace, while enjoying comfortable, high-quality services throughout.
Our office is in Saugues, in the heart of the Margeride hills. From here, our experienced team is ready to help you plan every detail of your trip. Our approach is simple: one destination, one point of contact. This means a closer relationship, a better understanding of what you are looking for, and direct answers to your questions. Your booking is handled by a single member of our team from start to finish. They will advise you on the route, on the practical details of your holiday, and manage all the reservations needed for a smooth trip.
In short, we are a small team, always on hand to help and listen. Walks in France means attentive, responsive service and a genuine commitment to quality.
We would like to thank our walkers, many of whom have been coming back year after year, trail after trail.
We would also like to acknowledge Claudie and René Izing (who founded La Pèlerine) and Pierre Lazier (director from 2014 to 2018), who built the strong human and professional values that still guide us today as we carry this adventure forward.
