France on a traverse

GR® 4 links Grasse to Royan across thirteen départements. The Verdon, Mont Ventoux, the Cévennes and the volcanoes of Auvergne shape a succession of landscapes with a very strong identity.

Preparing for the contrasts

The appeal of the GR® 4 comes from its changes in climate, terrain and exposure. Choose a section that suits the season and check local conditions: the experience varies a lot from one massif to another.
