Le tour de Paris par le GR®75
Le GR®75 est un des GR® les plus accessibles de France. Il permet à tout un chacun de se tester à la randonnée en passant près de plusieurs dizaines de parcs, jardins et squares de la capitale.

A 3-day route:
Lots of walks through parks with water sources. But the parks and streets are often littered with rubbish
Occasionally the GR markings disappear; it’s best to follow the GPX track.
Section 1 should end at Bercy Park rather than Gare de Lyon, and Route 2 should start at Bercy Park and head straight to the BNF. The sections avoided in this way are of no interest.
On section 3, the final stretch from Porte de Clignancourt to La Villette is dirty and run-down.

Departure from Paris
This urban route allows you to discover a large number of parks situated on the edge of the ring road in eastern Paris. Serving as an introduction tothe GR®75, it runs partly through the Bois de Vincennes and passes close to several other notable sites such as the Philharmonie, the Cité des Sciences and the Père Lachaise Cemetery. As you pass through the many parks, you might feel as though you’re far from the city, even though it’s only a stone’s throw away.

A walk through the north-eastern districts of Paris, from the former abattoirs at La Villette to the former Les Halles market, via the Porte Saint-Denis, following in the footsteps of processions that are no longer held today.
