GR®46

From Tours (Indre-et-Loire) to Toulouse (Haute-Garonne)

The GR46 is a historic and wild diagonal trail linking Tours to Toulouse, traversing the authentic heart of France for nearly 1,000 km. Starting in Touraine, the path winds its way between the vineyards and châteaux of the Loire Valley before venturing into the rolling landscapes of Berry and Creuse. Heading south, hikers discover the medieval heritage of Bas-Quercy and the spectacular gorges of the Aveyron. Nature reigns supreme: from the dense forests of Limousin to the limestone plateaus of the Causses du Quercy, the biodiversity changes dramatically with every step. The route is dotted with charming towns like Rocamadour and Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, offering a complete immersion in stone architecture. This route, less frequented than the Camino de Santiago, guarantees an experience of peaceful solitude and a profound reconnection with the French countryside.
