Le GR765 EST connecte Lyon au Puy-en-Velay sur 189,9 km à travers l’Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Depuis l’agglomération lyonnaise, le sentier rejoint progressivement les paysages de vignobles, de forêts, de reliefs et de plateaux qui annoncent le Velay. L’itinéraire mêle patrimoine, vallées habitées et espaces naturels plus ouverts, avec une arrivée dans l’un des grands points de départ historiques vers Compostelle. Les gares et connexions régionales de Lyon et du Puy-en-Velay rendent ce tracé pratique à organiser sans voiture.
