France has a perfect infrastructure for hikers. The Grand Randonnee takes you through the whole country. Here are the major routes you can take. The GR trails are clearly marked by red and white horizontal lines.
The GR trails are marked on all hiking maps, and are often shown on the French Michelin road maps as well (look for a dashed line and the designation GR4, GR52A, etc.). If you run across a trail in your wanderings, try hiking along it in either direction for an hour or so. You will often find fascinating places not seen by the stick-to-the-road tourists.
GR 13 Through the Morvan from Auxerre to Signal de Mont.
GR 20 GR 20 goes right through the rugged heart of Corsica.
GR 70 Follow the footsteps of Stephenson (and his donkey) on this track that takes you to the Cevennes a beautiful mountainous region in the Midi (south of France).
GR 5 Grande Randonee no. 5 takes you to the hills around Nice and shows you that the Cote d'Azur has a hinterland that is just as pretty as the coastline.
