Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.

Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble.

The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.

Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.

Welcome to 'Riviera on the Rocks' - your passport to the enchanting world of the South of France!

We are your hosts - Alexis & Carley and we want to bring you along on our journeys of personal growth and self-discovery on the French Riviera. An alluring region in the Mediterranean, the French Riviera boasts breathtaking landscapes, a rich history, and sophisticated charm. From the sun-drenched beaches to the bustling cobblestone streets, we are capturing the essence of everyday living in the South of France - from the perspective of two black women.

With each episode, we hope to encourage you to embrace the unfamiliar with enthusiasm and confidence, stepping outside your comfort zone while keeping an open mind about what is possible for you.

So, whether you're dreaming of your next getaway or simply seeking inspiration to live life to the fullest, tune in to 'Riviera on the Rocks' and tap into the spirit of exploration.
