GR®51 Balcony of Mediterranean
From Menton (Alpes-Maritimes) to La Madrague (Bouches-du-Rhone)
|
|
The GR®51 is designed to connect iconic sites such as the Calanques National Park, the Esterel massif, and the charming perched villages of the Côte d'Azur. Hikers discover architectural treasures, ranging from Romanesque chapels to Provençal bastides. The remnants of fortifications, oil mills, and ancient vineyards add a historical dimension to this route. The Mediterranean climate fosters a rich vegetation, featuring iconic species such as olive trees, lavender, and cork oaks. Hikers may also encounter aromatic plants like rosemary and thyme, which fill the air with their fragrances. The trail winds along the coast, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Limestone cliffs, secluded coves, and fine sandy beaches follow one another, creating an idyllic picture. Inland, hills covered with vineyards and olive groves form a typically Provençal landscape.
