..HF (holiday fellowship)does walking trips in the south of france..based in one place and you walk out daily..they are usually well lead and the lodging is adequate.
sherpa does place to place but i have no experience with them..another company is walkers world but i again have no experience with them.

Try Backroads or Butterfield and Robinson. Both companies are high end but well worth it. I have used Backroads for walking tours in Italy. Close friends used them for Provence. They provide the lodging, meals and maps. They also provide support during the walks.

Look for them on line.

BCT (British Coastal Trails) used to offer walking tours in Provence and the Dordogne. I enjoyed them.

If you want self-guided, Discover France is very good. And reasonable prices

Hi ccsc,
I have gone on 3 Wayfarers Walks and loved
every minute of it! For me it was the best
possible vacation-great food, interesting
people and very professionally done.
I hope to go again next year. Here is their
website:

Bon chance!
