Hiking Routes in France((Hiking Routes,Video,Brittany))

Interesting article on RendezvousenFrance.com for ramblers, hikers and serious walkers about the many walking routes across France.

The famous GR-Grandes Randonnées (hiking routes) are found throughout Europe but the best can be found in France. They explore spectacular landscapes and popular routes such as the Grande traversée of the Alps, the Routes of Santiago de Compostela, the Douaniers paths on the Brittany coast and the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson in the Cévennes. http://www.gr-infos.com/gr-en

Today the French network includes some 180,000 km (108,000 miles) of marked routes that extend another 12,000 miles into neighboring countries. Certain GRs are newly created and others follow historical routes such as the Routes of Santiago de Compstela. The Federation publishes a complete collection of guides and gives information and advice on its web site.

Top Suggestions include:
The Routes of Santiago de Compostela.
The Grande traversée des Alpes françaises
The TMB or the Tour of Mont-Blanc
