• Celebrate 30 years of the Mercantour by taking part in a communal hike up to 30 peaks in the French and Italian areas – book by August 25 for refuge space.
• Read our favourite travel journalist's tall tales from Wales – coasteering – this time – what a job. And he said he didn't fancy canyonning – his horse trip here is on our blog.
• The Nice to Cannes Marathon is on November 14 – take a pre Christmas break and either join in their toils (it is quite flat!) or admire the horseflesh with a glass of rosé in your hand.

What They Say....
"We strongly recommend the Vallee des Merveilles tour. Fascinating petroglyphs, beautiful wildflowers, plenty of ibex and chamois. Mel and Liz are full of information and good company. The Merveilles refuge ...more like an army barracks, ...enormous meals at the Le Grand Chalet.A week very well spent." Marty and Phil – July 2010.
"G'jour ....G'jour – great time with you both and the same in the south (coast) ... culture, swimming and resting my legs which are 2 inches shorter!" Robyn – July 2010.
"Great to have local advice to save wasting any time faffing about!" Fran – August 2010
