Hiking Clubs in Île-de-France and Other Regions
Whether you are in Paris, Nice or elsewhere in Île-de-France, clubs like those referenced by the French Hiking Federation offer a wide choice of activities adapted to seniors.
To find hiking clubs suitable for single seniors in France, there are several useful resources. The French Hiking Federation offers a platform for searching clubs by geolocation, which can help you find hiking clubs near you, in major cities in France such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Nice, Nantes, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Lille, etc. You can visit their site to perform a specific search.
The website "Ma Vie de Senior" provides information on hiking for single seniors, including tips on finding a club or hiking partner. They also suggest checking with local town halls, tourist offices, or senior living facilities 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 further research, I recommend visiting the websites of the French Hiking Federation and Ma Vie de Senior for detailed information on hiking clubs in different regions of France.
