Loop around France |
The project to complete a full Tour de France on foot is a significant personal challenge, achievable only by linking the numerous Grande Randonnée (GR) and GR de Pays (GRP) trails that crisscross the territory. According to route estimates, this peripheral and internal loop represents a colossal distance of approximately 8,405 kilometers. The theoretical itinerary requires connecting coastal GRs, such as the GR 34 in Brittany, to the major alpine (GR 5) and Pyrenean (GR 10) crossings. With a total accumulated elevation gain of around 156,714 meters, this circuit traverses the geographical diversity of the country, from plains to peaks reaching 2,878 meters. It is not a single official trail, but a compilation of marked routes, necessitating meticulous planning using the guidebooks from the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre.





Distance: 8405km, Elevation maximum: 2878m, Elevation minimum: 0m, Elevation gain uphill: 156714m
