A day out in the Swiss Normandy region. Beautiful scenery along well-signposted paths.

Magnificent valleys, apple trees in bloom in spring, springs. These are some of the things you will be able to admire on this rugged route.

Apple trees, horses, valleys and forests line this walk through the bocage, not forgetting a short detour to admire the Manoir de Bellou and another to Livarot to sample its cheese.

It's so pleasant to stroll along the paths and trails of the valleys... The hike follows the rhythm of the stud farm's horses, allowing you to fully enjoy the green and relaxing landscapes.

As ‘douets’ are streams, the walk weaves its way through three watercourses that divide the Tordouet area. From apple orchards to hedgerows and from pastures to apple trees, the route winds its way through beautiful, steep-sided landscapes.

This circular route between the Ajon and Odon valleys offers an interesting visit to the Chapelle Saint-Clair and the Moulin d'Ajon.

A pleasant hike that allows you to rediscover cornflowers and poppies. A pleasant walk through the forest.

Crossing streams and valleys, this route offers a wide variety of landscapes and, at the end of the route, near the church, a beautiful view of Beaumont-en-Auge and the surrounding hills.

Along the hedges and paths, will you discover a twisted oak tree? The name of the village of Torquesne means "twisted oak". In Normandy, as in Picardy, the sound "che" was pronounced "ke", so "chêne" (oak) was pronounced "kene", hence "Torquesne". Let's go! In search of the oak tree...

Notre-Dame-de-Courson, Les Moutiers-Hubert, Bellou. On either side of the Touques, take advantage of the peaceful surroundings to observe the natural landscape.

Take care when crossing the woods, as the flora and fauna here are best observed in silence, before continuing along the Oudon valley, which winds peacefully through the pastures.

From the banks of the cool Val la Hère stream, you will climb to the heights of Plainville and Bourg d'Ouilly, where the view is remarkable.

A walk passing through Lénault, St-Jean-le-Blanc, Marsangle and the Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel.

From Thury-Harcourt to the Chapel of Saint Joseph. On these paths, you will find uphill and downhill undergrowth, theGR®36and the Chapelle Saint-Joseph.

A walk through the Falaise plain along well-maintained dirt tracks. From the higher ground, you can see the distant horizon. Limestone buildings, Saint-Martin Church, the Épaney pond and the Fontaine wash house, where you can have a picnic.

Swiss Normandy: valleys, springs, streams, fir trees, small villages – everything you need to have a great day out and come home tired.

Hiking in Suisse Normande. With blue skies, you can discover the beautiful valleys. I recommend a visit to the Bonne Nouvelle Chapel, which is open during the day and offers the opportunity to leave messages.

Circuit starting from La Pommeraie, a small authentic village in Suisse Normande, whose name comes from the word pomme (apple). In autumn, there are many chestnut trees.

If you're passing by on the Greenway, it's well worth a detour.

Stroll through the Bessin region of Normandy. Pass through villages steeped in history.

A very pleasant walk through the undergrowth, with the sound of small streams flowing through this magnificent forest. Lots of mushrooms in season.

Ouffières welcomes you to a large square beautifully decorated with flowers. You can then set off to discover magnificent stone houses before following the Orne River as it winds its way through the Swiss Normandy.

A very pleasant walk around Longueville in the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Nature Park.
