I also remember several GR trails on the Michelin maps. I think old ones also 
had their number, but I lost that map several years ago so I can't check. A 
newer Michelin map does indeed show several trail with a dashed line. It 
doesn't say anything about a walking route, a dashed line is just a "path" 
according to the legend. But they do follow GR routes nicely.
