GR®655 EAST
From Villebon-sur-Yvette (Essonne) to Vouvray (Indre-et-Loire)
The GR655 EAST, a variant of the Via Turonensis towards Santiago de Compostela, connects the Île-de-France region to the gardens of Touraine. This historic route begins in the Yvette valley before crossing the vast grain plains of Beauce towards Étampes and Pithiviers. The landscape changes radically as you approach the Forest of Orléans, one of the largest forest massifs in France. From the medieval castle of Sully-sur-Loire to the majestic cathedrals of Orléans and Blois, hikers walk through the pages of French history. Between renowned vineyards and tuffeau stone cliffs, the trail winds its way to Vouvray, famous for its white wines and troglodyte dwellings. It is a journey where the wild nature of the Loire banks harmoniously dialogues with the splendor of Renaissance châteaux.
