This review is from: 26 Gorgeous Hikes on the Western Cote D'Azur (Paperback)
This book is more for the one hour stroller than for a more serious hiker. Glossy prints, heavy paper, beautiful photos all contribute to a nice book that is too heavy for serious hiking. This is more of a tourist guide than a hikers book

Where's MY Backpack?, May 22 2008
By Armchair Interviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 26 Gorgeous Hikes on the Western Cote D'Azur (Paperback)
26 Gorgeous Hikes on the Western CÃ'te d'Azur is an illustrated guide that invites you to slow down, take a breath of fresh air and soak in the Western French Riviera's natural beauty. Author Chatzigianis is a long-time hiker who has spent many years scouting southern France for footpaths with stunning views, walks that lead to boat-accessible only inlets, and prehistoric sites rarely visited or seen.This guide has stunning maps and photographs of the nature hikes. There is an introduction with points of interest for each hike. Hiking time, distance, difficulty level and elevation profile are included with each hike description as well as practical advice on when to go and what to take with you.
The descriptions of the hikes are vivid enough to make you want to go there, to see it for yourself.
You climb a short, steep hill behind the village of La Garde-Freinet. You cross a moat that is carved deep into the rock. Step back 800 years in time; you have entered the ruins of the ancient fortified stone settlement of Fort Freinet.
Whether you enjoy an evening walk through a chestnut grove to watch a monastery set aglow by the setting sun or a more vigorous hike up the red mountains to view the amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea, there is something for everyone to enjoy in this beautiful guide of the Western Cote d'Azur.
The hikes range from an hour to half a day. I never knew some of these places even existed until I read this lovely guide. My interest has been peaked and I found myself daydreaming as I became absorbed in the photographs. My family may find themselves on a vacation soonâ"that only I have been dreaming of!
Armchair Interview says: Excellent book for hikers and dreamers
