GR®78 - Chemin du Piémont Pyrénéen

Description

The Chemin du Piémont Pyrénéen, also known as the GR®78, runs from Carcassonne to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port over nearly 600 kilometres along the northern foothills of the Pyrenees. It is one of the least frequented Camino routes in France — you will often walk alone. Elevation gain is more demanding than on other Camino routes, and resupply points can be sparse. The path is waymarked and well served at major stops, less so in isolated rural sections. Works in aeroplane mode to save battery — useful on the long stages between villages.
