Gr 654: The Way of St James

The GR654 runs along the Vézelay Way.
This famous footpath crosses Champagne-Ardenne along some 460 km on its way to Namur and Flanders. It offers the hiker a multitude of diverse landscapes, perfectly illustrating the various riches of the region. 

You will cross the great forests of the Ardennes, the rolling Ardennes foothills, the plain of Champagne with the Montagne de Reims in its heart. You will then travel along the major lakes of Champagne (Lac du Der, lakes of the Forêt d'Orient) to finally leave the region via the Côte des Bars and the Barrois Plateaus.

To make it easier to organise your walks, we offer you 20 stages (approximately 20 to 25 km per day) for this route from Rocroi to Tonnerre. For each of them, you can also download the GPS Trace.
