The GR10 Footpath

The famous GR10 footpath passes through Arels sur Tech past the front of La Paloma before climbing out of the village up the mountain in front of the house.

The GR 10 is a French GR footpath or hiking trail that makes it possible to walk from one end of the Pyrenees Mountains to the other. It roughly parallels the French-Spanish border, sticking to the French side. Those attempting the entire trail often choose do it west-to-east, from Hendaye on the Atlantic Ocean to Banyuls-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean Sea, but it can just as easily be traversed east-to-west.

The stunning views from the path above Arles sur Tech can be reached in a couple of hours from La Paloma.
