Front and Back: The Adventure Begins Near You

Behind Recto Verso is the team at Les Others, an independent media outlet dedicated to adventure, travel and the great outdoors. Their idea: to give everyone the means to explore new horizons, without necessarily traveling across the planet. With their hiking kits and regional editions, they make planning a getaway simpler, more tangible and, above all, much more inspiring.

Recto Verso champions a vision of travel where the journey is part of the experience. Taking the train, hopping on your bike, walking for several days or simply taking a break in the heart of nature: so many ways to rediscover the places around us. A philosophy we share at Kiplé, where we love original gift ideas, objects with a story and a purpose that inspire you to enjoy new experiences.

Maps, itineraries, and above all, ideas for setting off on a trip

Recto Verso collections aren’t just travel guides to leaf through. They’re practical tools for planning your adventures. The larger editions bring together up to 100 hiking routes in France or Europe, complete with maps, practical information sheets and GPX tracks accessible via QR codes. They make it easy to choose your next destination and plan your trip without spending hours searching for the right information. They also make a great Christmas gift idea, for example.

To explore a particular region, the Recto Verso Zoom editions offer a more focused selection of 15 adventures. A hike in the Écrins massif, a cycling route along the roads of Brittany or a multi-day getaway: each edition gives you everything you need to discover an area at your own pace. A great way to go from “We should go away for a weekend” to “We’re leaving on Saturday!”.

Travel differently, with gift sets made in France

Recto Verso encourages a more thoughtful way to travel, favoring adventures accessible by train, on foot or by bike. The gift boxes are printed in France, particularly in the Alps, and the brand supports environmental protection initiatives. It’s an approach that combines the joy of discovering new landscapes with a consideration for the places you travel through.

At Kiplé, we chose Recto Verso because these gift boxes are great gift ideas for nature lovers and adventurers. They’re beautiful, practical and, above all, give you a great reason to get out of the house. For a birthday, Christmas, Father’s Day or simply to encourage someone to set off on their first multi-day hike, giving Recto Verso means giving the promise of future adventures.
