GR52/GR5
France has over 100,000km of hiking trails known as Sentiers de grandé randonnée. There’s a lot of information online so I won’t try to add to it. After finishing the Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne I decided to hike the GR5, normally one would begin this trail at Lac Leman on the Swiss / French border. Instead I chose to hike from south to north. This actually worked out nicely because I had the sun on my back much of the day. As an additional benefit my solar panel soaked in more power. I added a little to the overall distance by hiking the GR52. This I’m told follows a more impressive route than if one were to start in Nice. In fact I’d go as far as to say that if I were to return to any parts of the hike I would go back to certain areas along the GR52.
Here’s some of my photos:

full day.
