GR®51 et GR®98 - Balcons de la Méditérranée

Description

The GR51, known as the Balcons de la Méditerranée, links Menton to Marseille through the Alpes-Maritimes, Var and Bouches-du-Rhône. The path alternates between hilltop villages, wooded massifs and coastal stretches, it does not follow the shoreline continuously. From Marseille, the GR98 extends the route through the Calanques National Park to Cassis : a demanding section with technical passages on limestone terrain. Bivouacking is strictly prohibited in the Calanques National Park and accommodation is scarce: logistics require careful planning. Works in aeroplane mode to save battery.
