TO ESCAPE

  • You don't have to go far to be amazed and have fun!

For the 2024 edition, the 13 departments of Occitanie “spied” you with their ideas for bivouac or day hikers. The hardest part was choosing between activities such as canyoning, via ferrata, water walking, canoeing, mountain biking, cycle touring, horse riding, diving, paragliding, kitesurfing... or simply relaxing in the sun. 

And also... The mild climate of Anjou and its walks between the Loire and the vineyards, the breathtaking Pink Granite Coast and its pearl Perros Guirec, and right next door, the wild beauty of Béarn and its walks like the Henri IV path, GR 782. 

Accommodation: the leading names in vacation villages and campsites from all over France were present! VVF, VTF, Campings CGU, Campings sites et paysages, Mer et Golf, Cap France... and all those present at the destinations. 

  •  Escape starts here!

The international program for the 2024 edition includes Tunisia, Peru, Costa Rica and Spain, with the proud and bewildering province of Aragon: do you know the splendid and festive Zaragoza? For hiking enthusiasts: the Mallos de Riglos, Alquezar, Navarre and its famous Bardenas desert?
