Looking for suggested 7-10 day hikes in France, doing around 15 miles per day. Not camping out, but hiking from town to town, staying in B&Bs or small inns or hostels. Thinking about taking the dog, so suggestions there would be welcome also. Not looking to climb huge mountains (Alps/Pyrenees), but some stress-free relaxation. Time frame would be this August. I’ve heard to stay away from the coast at that time due to crowds. Open to suggestions!

Its a tradition that we have initiation for the freshman on one of the nights during the camp. This year we are going to a camp on a lake, and our rooms are in a hotel. It can’t be anything mean or harmful, but can be funny and entertaining! Last year we made all the girls wear sports bras and thongs over the shorts and we had a dance thing in a room. When they entered, we drew things on their stomachs and we made them do funny things in the dance. It was fun, but now we need a new idea for this year! Any thoughts?

Are there places to camp? Is it safe? I’ve never been. My husband will back out at the last minute and the tickets are free.. I May be looking for someone to go with me for backup…? Maybe split a hotel room accross the street? Or camp out at the hotel? Any hotel / motel within walking distance… I dont really want to walk alone….
