Rocroi-Vézelay
Rocroi, Reims, Vitry-le-François, Les Riceys, Tonnerre, Vézelay
The GR654 officially starts in Namur, running to the French border at Rocroi, and thence via Reims, Vitry-le-François and Auxerre to Vézelay; there is an FFRP topoguide for this, and see radiocamino.net for a detailed description of the Belgian section.
It is however a meandering route that has little to do with historical pilgrimage routes. The Belgian section is now covered by the Via Monastica, and Randonneurs et Pèlerins 51 produce guides to a shorter route (by 145km) than the GR between Rocroi and Reims, and Reims and Vézelay via Troyes.
Hervé Grosdoit-Artur gives more details on the GR654 route in Aube on his site, together with suggestions for links from Troyes and elsewhere in the département.
