GR®6

From Gironde to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

The GR®6 traverses France from west to east, from Gironde to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Leaving Gironde, the path crosses the regions of Périgord and Quercy, offering hikers an immersion in the beauty of French nature and history. Hikers can discover well-preserved medieval villages such as Rocamadour and Sarlat. The GR®6 reaches the Massif Central before descending towards the Rhône Valley. From Gallo-Roman ruins to Romanesque churches, each stop tells a part of France's history. The Château of Grignan, for example, in the Drôme Provençale, evokes the splendour of past centuries. In Provence, fields of lavender, olive groves and garrigue provide a colourful spectacle throughout the year. Aromatic plants such as thyme and rosemary scent the warm air, adding a Mediterranean touch to the journey.
