Grande Randonnée

GR Routes

France's official long-distance trail network, marked with red-and-white waymarks. It spans the GR20 on Corsica — one of the toughest treks in Europe — to the Breton coast's GR34 and the Pyrenean crossings GR10 and GR11. Routes share a consistent marking standard and a dense network of gîtes d'étape.
