Benefits of Hiking for Seniors
Improving physical and mental health
Hiking offers countless health benefits, both physical and mental, and is particularly beneficial for senior citizens. It helps keep you fit and sharp.
Socializing and meeting new people
Hiking clubs offer an excellent opportunity to meet others with similar interests, fostering strong social bonds and sometimes even romantic encounters for single seniors.

Hiking clubs in Ile-de-France and other regions
Whether you're in Paris, Nice or elsewhere in the Ile-de-France region, clubs like those listed by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre offer a wide choice of activities adapted to senior citizens.
To find hiking clubs adapted to single seniors in France, there are several useful resources. The Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre offers a geolocation-based club search platform, which can help you find hiking clubs near you, in major French cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Nice, Nantes, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Lille, etc. You can visit their site to carry out a specific search.
The "Ma Vie de Senior" site provides information on hiking for single seniors, including tips on finding a club or hiking partner. They also suggest consulting town halls, tourist offices or senior residences for information on local clubs. They also mention a few organizations that organize hikes for single people, such as Hillwalk Tours, Groopiz, Partir Seul, or Pedibus.
For more in-depth research, I recommend visiting the websites of the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre and Ma Vie de Senior for detailed information on hiking clubs in different regions of France.
