GR®113

From Provins (Seine-et-Marne) to Auxerre (Yonne)

Between Île-de-France and Burgundy, the trail connects the medieval town of Provins to the city of art and history, Auxerre. This long-distance hiking trail, once a hub for trade, crosses the vast grain-growing plains of the Brie region before entering the Yonne Valley. Historically, this route follows in the footsteps of the merchants who frequented the famous Champagne fairs in the Middle Ages, linking the Paris Basin to the Burgundian lands. Built heritage is the common thread of this hike: from the imposing ramparts and watchtowers of Provins to the Gothic churches that dot the route. Along the way, hikers discover the understated charm of towns like Sens, famous for its Saint-Étienne Cathedral, the first Gothic cathedral in France. The arrival in Auxerre, with its half-timbered houses overlooking the Yonne River, provides a magnificent finale to this journey through culture and rural life.
