Walking 
France has a well-developed system of marked walking routes. The longest are called the sentiers de grande randonnee (GR). There are also regional and local paths called GRPs and PRs, respectively. These routes go along the coast and in the mountains mostly; in regions such as Normandy, Britanny, Provence, Cote d'Azur, Auvergne, Pyrenees and the Alps. However, also the island of Corsica is an interesting destination for hikers. People who are interested in wine-making traditions also visit Alsace, Burgundy, Pays de Loire and Aquitaine. Of course, the walking tours in the most interesting cities and villages are also worth a try.

Cycling 
Cycling is one of the French national sports. As a result, all cyclists are warmly welcomed in this country. There is a wide selection of different routes so that both beginners and professionals can find the one that suits them best. This kind of activity can be combined with sightseeing. Cycling tours are organised by many travel agencies, but you can always find a group of enthusiasts and plan this kind of trip by yourself. The best season for cycling in France is the summer. However, in the southern part of the country the temperatures can get quite high, so cycling in the spring and autumn is also recommended.

Tennis
If you like to play tennis, France is the place to go. You’ll easily find tennis courts and many other facilities in every resort.
