Calling all wine and food lovers who also enjoy getting some exercise.
The folks from UTracks recently sent me the details of what they call a Gastronomic Pilgrimage Through France.
UTracks, describe themselves as :active Europe travel specialists' and have launched a Camino Le Puy Food Lovers Tour, a culinary/vinous twist on France’s historic Le Puy/Santiago Camino route.
The tour is described as "tailor-made those who seek the perfect pairing of food, wine and walking" through the rustic heart of rural France. It covers regions that really are off the beaten track.
The walk blends a centuries-old pilgrimage with the indulgent pleasures of French regional cuisine. Sounds right up my alley!
Over eight delicious days, travellers walk from Le Puy-en-Velay to Aumont-Aubrac, through volcanic highlands, forested trails and sleepy villages, stopping to sample Auvergne cheeses, locally farmed lentils, artisan charcuterie, and local wines, including the star malbecs from Cahors.
Aubrac produces some of the best beef in France and guided tastings and daily three-course regional dinners are a highlight.
“We wanted to create a Camino experience that speaks to the food lover’s soul,” says UTracks general manager Kate Baker.
“This is for travellers who enjoy walking for the pleasure of discovering what’s around the next bend, and what’s on the next plate.”
With luggage transfers, local accommodation, and a route navigation app provided, the trip offers something just a little bit different.
Departures run from May to October. See more here: https://www.utracks.com/France/Guided-Walking/French-Food-Lovers-Le-Puy-Camino
