context_page_description: The Grande Randonnée, Grote Routepaden or Lange-afstand-wandelpaden, Grande Rota or Gran Recorrido is a network of long-distance footpaths in Europe, mostly in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. The trails in France alone cover approximately 60,000 kilometres. Trails are blazed with characteristic marks consisting of a white stripe above a red stripe. These appear regularly along the route, especially at places like forks or crossroads.
  The network is maintained in France by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre, and in Spain by the Federación Española de Deportes de Montaña y Escalada.
  Many GR routes make up part of the longer European walking routes which cross several countries.
