A painted cross, usually of one red and one white line, signals that the route is not in that direction – go back to pick up the correct trail. Remember also that all GR trails are waymarked with red and white flashes. In areas where two GR routes meet, or where a variant leaves the main route, care should be taken to follow the correct GR Trail. The GR65, which is encountered at Le Sauvage (Stage 7), is the trail to Santiago in Spain, and carries a stylised pilgrim's shell as well as the usual red/white waymarks.

Occasionally you will see other waymarks: GR de Pays are red and yellow, whereas PR trails are usually single yellow, or sometimes green or blue stripes. Orange waymarks are for horse-riding trails – they sometimes occur in the shape of a hoof-print.

Certain notices should also be understood. ‘Propriété privée’ or ‘Défense d'entrer’ means that the area is private and entry forbidden. The signs ‘Réserve du chasse’ and ‘Chasse privée’ do not refer to mountain bikers or walkers, but mean that hunting rights are reserved for the owner of the land.
