GR®48

From Chinon (Indre-et-Loire) to La Ribiere (Haute-Vienne)

The GR48 winds its way through diverse landscapes, from the verdant valleys of the Creuse to the rolling hills of the bocage countryside, offering a complete immersion in unspoiled nature. In terms of heritage, the route is dotted with historical treasures, such as the Abbey of Saint-Savin, listed for its unique frescoes. Hikers discover a rich history, marked by the influence of the Dukes of Aquitaine and the remains of medieval fortresses guarding the waterways. The flora and fauna are remarkably diverse, particularly in the wetlands and dense forests that border the path. Between charming villages and bucolic panoramas, the GR48 is an authentic journey through the heart of France.
