GR5/52: Tinée - Vésubie - Vallée des Merveilles

Series details

£16.95

A title from an extensive series of light, high quality, paperback guides to the Sentiers de Grande Randonnée, the GR routes, a dense network of long-distance footpaths across the French countryside. Each topo-guide covers either a circular route, or part of a longer path. Supporting the route descriptions are colour extracts from IGN's 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 topographic surveys overprinted with the route. The text is in French, but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols. A list of all the main places along the route indicates what facilities can be found there: public transport, food shops, and various types of accommodation, with addresses and telephone numbers.

In this guide: the last stage of the GR5 from Larche, across the Mercantour National Park and its spectacular Vallée des Merveilles, to Nice on the Mediterranean coast. The guide also describes an alternative spur of the route ending in Menton, via the GR52. Maps in colour. 80 pages.
