Marseille - Menton
This GR51 is a special walk. It follows the length of the French Riviera, starting in Marseille and running east. You won't see much water, though. Apart from the start of the trail, along the spectacular white cliffs of Les Calanques, you will walk inland. Hence, Balcons de la Méditerranée, as it is called. A lengthy walk, in a well known holiday region, but far from popular.
