GR®6

From Gironde to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

The GR®6 is a long-distance hiking trail that crosses France from West to East, from Gironde to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, offering hikers an exceptional experience through varied and picturesque landscapes. Hikers begin their adventure amidst the green hills of this renowned wine region, where they can enjoy magnificent panoramas of vineyards and charming villages. The early stages of the GR®6 take them through the renowned vineyards, where they can discover the famous wines of Bordeaux. Leaving Gironde behind, the trail traverses the regions of Perigord and Quercy, immersing hikers in the beauty of French nature and history. The hilly landscapes and verdant valleys characterize this part of the trail, where hikers can explore well-preserved medieval villages such as Rocamadour and Sarlat. The stages of the GR®6 in these regions also offer opportunities to taste local culinary specialties such as foie gras, truffles, and cheeses. Continuing their journey, hikers reach the Massif Central, a mountain range that spans several French departments. The stages of the GR®6 through the Massif Central offer spectacular mountain landscapes, with steep peaks, deep valleys, and volcanic plateaus. Hikers can cross the Regional Natural Park of the Volcanoes of Auvergne, where they can admire unique landscapes and fascinating volcanic formations, including the famous Puy de Dome.
