The Eastern Pyrenees  
the GR 10

IN FRANCE

Lionel de Compostelle montrant les montagnes des Pyrénées orientales sur le GR 10

My way to Santiago de Compostela is off the beaten track. It goes through many variants through the mountains.

After walking theWay of Puy-en-Velayto Saint-Jean-Pied-Port, I finally decided not to continue the classic path which leads straight toRoncesvalles pass,  but to take the GR 10 long-distance hiking trailwhich crosses the Basque Country  to reach the Atlantic Ocean at Hendaye.

I had the desire in 2022 to continue this crossing of the Pyrenees, but this time starting from the side of themediterranean  from the town of Banyuls-sur-mer.

I'm not ready to forget these magnificent landscapes made up of high plateaus and peaks, beautiful forests and valleys, a stone's throw from Spain.

I hope that my videos will make you want to start your turn.

✨ Buen camino ⭐
