GR®51 Balcony of the Mediterranean

From Menton (Alpes-Maritimes) to La Madrague (Bouches-du-Rhône)

The GR®51 long-distance hiking trail connects the Calanques National Park, the Esterel Massif and the charming hilltop villages of the French Riviera. Hikers discover architectural treasures, from Romanesque chapels to Provençal country houses, as well as the remains of fortifications, olive oil mills and former vineyards. The Mediterranean climate fosters lush vegetation such as olive trees, lavender and garrigue, creating a sensory journey at every step. The fauna is equally diverse, with birds of prey soaring above the limestone ridges and marine species visible in the crystal-clear waters below.
