Tourism / The Grande Traversée du Massif Central: a holiday idea combining discovery, physical activities, and splendid panoramas

The fruit of the imagination of local stakeholders wishing to promote the beauty of their still little-known territories, the Grande Traversée du Massif Central (GTMC) quickly established itself, since its creation in 1995, as an unmissable route due to its exceptional length (1,400 kilometers between Avallon and Cap d’Agde) and the extraordinary diversity of natural spaces encountered. A reference itinerary promoting a change of scenery for some, a legendary route for others, the GTMC offers athletes and families alike the opportunity to cycle to the rhythm of authentic encounters and discoveries of preserved places.
