Let me guide you on this 2-day multi-adventure in Provence. The program is meant as an initiation to hiking. We will be in the region of Camargue, in the Natural Regional Park.
The base for this trip will be Mas Montredon, a small and charming guest house that will serve as a peaceful environment to relax after the day’s effort.
On the first day, depending on the weather, we can go to the Alpilles or to the Gard. The hike will be easy and fun, either on firm land or including aquatic sections. We will enjoy a picnic surrounded by the most beautiful provençal landscapes. The day after, we will go horse riding (open to all levels), and have a picnic by the Vaccares pond or by the Mediterranean Sea, depending on the route.
Please note that the program is only a guide, but we can alternate the activities and even be forced to change them if the weather does not agree with our plans.
I can organize other dates upon request. Please note that the minimum number of participants is 3.
Ready for an initiation to hiking in beautiful Provence? Don’t hesitate to book this trip and spend two marvellous days in this magic environment! And if you have more time available, I also guide a 6-day multi-activity program in the same region.
Meeting at Mas Montredon at 9:30AM. Depending on the season and the weather, hike at Alpilles or Gard, maybe including aquatic hike. Picnic in the area and return to Mas Montredon in the afternoon, where we have dinner.
After a delicious breakfast, we go meet the horses. There are options for all levels. Depending on the route, we will stop for a picnic at the Vaccares pond or the Mediterranean sea. Return to Mas Montredon in the afternoon, where the trip ends.

Mountain Guide
IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide
I come from Marseille and I found my passion for mountaineering very early, climbing Les Calanques, some mountains in the Verdon region and in the Alps. I got my IFMGA (mountain guide) certificate in 1983 and my ski instructor license in 1985.
I brought my clients on many summits of the Alps and went abroad to discover the world. I went skiing, climbing, mountaineering… in Morocco, Norway, Algeria (Hoggar), Yosemite (El Capitan) and Nepal. I discovered this passion for travelling and started to organize my first trips with my clients. In the late 80’, I went to the Annapurna Sanctuary and I did several ascents in Peru (Pisco, Yanapatcha and Huascaran). In the 90’, I did several trips in Nepal (Helambu, Langtang…).
I then kept on and further explored the world with my clients: Rolwaling traverse (Perchamo, Mera Peak Mingbo La), the summits of Yala Peak and the Yana Kanga, Patagonia (in Argentina), Manaslu tour in Nepal, Meso Kanto La, Mustang, Atacama desert in chili and many others.
I like bringing my clients mountaineering in summer and ski touring / heliskiing in winter.

Hervé est fort à l'écoute de son client, il cerne très bien les attentes et les envies. Il est aussi très rassurant et porte une attention particulière au bien-être de chacun. Il a beaucoup d'expérience, on sent qu'il connaît bien la montagne et il est prudent. Enfin, il est discret et sympatique. Je le recommande vivement !
Many thanks for 3 great days of snow powder and amazing views in the 3 vallees. Knowledgeable, cautious and takes peoples tempo and abilities into account, adapting to needs.
Great moments of fun and found some lush powder in difficult conditions.
