The GR 65 is a long-distance walking route of the Grande Randonnée network. The French name for this GR route is the Chemin de St-Jacques and the Spanish name is the Camino de Santiago: this is because the GR 65 is an important variant route of the old Christian pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela; as such it is a Way of St. James.

The GR 65 has been included as part of European walking route E3.

The route starts in Geneva and goes through: Le Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire), Nasbinals (Lozère), Conques (Aveyron), Figeac (Lot), Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne), Aire-sur-l'Adour (Landes), Roncevalles (Spain).
