GR®22 Mont Saint-Michel trail

From Paris (Ile de France) to Mont Saint-Michel (Manche)

The GR®22 weaves its way through richly irrigated landscapes, providing a sanctuary for diverse wildlife. Amidst the interplay of fresh and saltwater, hikers may be fortunate enough to spot colonies of seals or perhaps even dolphins. The trail also traverses protected natural habitats teeming with wild flora. As the trail winds through forests, valleys, and hedgerows, it presents a tapestry of varied landscapes and ecosystems. Spanning a distance of 567 km and cutting across 6 departments, the GR®22 embarks on its journey from the square of Notre-Dame in Paris and culminates in Normandy at the Mont Saint-Michel. The trail navigates through a range of terrains, from the undulating hills of Perche to the expansive forests of Orne, and meanders through the South Channel, a land steeped in granite, moors, and legends. Historically, the GR®22 has been a well-trodden path for many pilgrims, known as the miquelots, from the early Middle Ages (9th–11th centuries) to the present day.
