GR®9 From Jura to Mediterranean

From Saint-Amour (Jura) to Port Grimaud (Var)

This hiking trail runs from the Jura mountains to the Mediterranean. It offers a diversity of landscapes, from the dense forests of the Jura to the terraced vineyards of the Rhône region, passing through the alpine meadows of the Chartreuse Massif and the sunny hills of Provence. Hikers can observe a variety of wildlife and flora, including rare and protected species. The trail also crosses regions of exceptional beauty, such as the Baronnies and the Lubéron, and iconic sites like the Sainte-Victoire massif, which inspired Paul Cézanne. The route ends in the Sainte-Baume Regional Natural Park, rich in biodiversity.
