GR®13

From Gâtinais (Seine-et-Marne) to Morvan (Saône-et-Loire)

The GR®13 long-distance hiking trail traces a long, historic diagonal, linking the Gâtinais region in Seine-et-Marne to the Morvan massif in Saône-et-Loire. The landscape is one of spectacular progression, leaving behind the sandstone boulders and royal forests of the Gâtinais to reach the rugged granite plateau of the Morvan. The history of the trail is that of ancient communication routes, bearing witness to the links between the Paris region and the interior of the country. The flora encountered is extremely varied, ranging from the heathlands and oak groves of the Gâtinais to the vast beech and coniferous forests characteristic of the Morvan. The fauna is typical of the large inland forest massifs, with the presence of roe deer and wild boar, making the GR®13 an immersive journey through a contrasting natural and cultural heritage.
