We Hike to Heal – @ Le Tholonet, France, FREE Women’s Group Hike
We’ll be hiking from downtown Le Tholonet up to the ancient dam of Lac Zola in the Saint Victoire park system. This will cover a distance of about 8 k (~5 miles) across dirt and gravel trails, with multiple ascents and descents. You must have shoes with good tread, as the trail can be very uneven and slippery in some parts. Prepare for light cardio and light prespiration. This is an easy-to-moderate hike. Once we reach the lake, we’ll plan to take a break to catch our breath, enjoy the blue watery view and a meditation, and do a little reflective journaling. Besides enjoying the changing fall colors, you will also get to see Le Moulin Cezanne, the aqueducts and the historic Zola dam. We welcome all fitness levels to join us; the goal is to enjoy the journey, we are never in a race!
Le Tholonet is about 11 minutes (6 km) outside of Aix en Provence, and 15 minutes (10.6 km) to Fuveau.
