L’île de L Réunion: GRs R1 - R2 - R3, a topoguide published by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre as part of their extensive series of similar walking guides to France and its overseas departments. The guide covers three long-distance footpaths: GR R1 - Tour du Piton des Neiges, GR R2 from Basse-Vallée to St Denis crossing the island, and GR R3 - Tour de Mafate.

Colour extracts from the topographic survey of Reunion at 1:25,000 are overprinted with the routes. The descriptions of the routes are divided into short sections according to the difficulty of the terrain, and are always placed next to the maps for easy reference. The text is in French, but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols. A list of all the main points along the routes indicates what facilities can be found there: public transport, food shops, accommodation etc.

The guide also includes lists with contact addresses for various types of accommodation along the three routes, as well as for airlines, car hire, tourist offices, etc. A separate section, with beautiful drawings, is devoted to Reunion’s flora and fauna. Also included are notes on the island’s history, climate etc. The guide is illustrated with numerous photos. 160 pages.
