GR8
Description
- Name GR8 (GR8)
- Start of trail Saint Brévin les Pins
- End of trail Sare
Atlantic Trail
The GR8 is not finished yet. Parts are there: from the harbour of Urt to the village of Sare in Basque country, 65 km, 3 days; a part in the Médoc, and a piece in the Vendée.
The Basque part of this Grande Randonnée runs some distance from the Basque Atlantic Coast, joins the GR10 - the trail in the Pyrenees - and ends at the frontier village Handaye.
When finished (?), the GR8 is in fact the course of the E9, the coastal European Long Distance Trail.
