Description of the walk

The starting point is on the Place de la Mairie in the village of Ecrammeville, located between Trévières and Formigny, near the N13.

(S) Head north-west and walk along the cemetery. Take the first small road on the right towards the Abbey. At the next fork, go left (north-west).

(1) At a small farm, take the path on the right (yellow markings) for about 400 metres. At the intersection, turn right and then immediately left (leaving the yellow markings) for 200 metres.

(2) At the T-junction, turn right heading east and at the next intersection, take the path opposite (be careful crossing the road). Continue to the hamlet of Lieu Hotto.

(3) Turn right at the "Normanville" sign (orange markings) and continue.

(4) Turn left over the Croix Toutin bridge, continue straight ahead to the priority sign, then cross the road and take the narrow path opposite for 400 metres (south-east). At the T-junction, turn left towards "la communette" (small house) and turn right.

(5) Continue along the road for 250 metres, then take a grassy path on the right at a bend until you reach the next road (approx. 300 metres). Take the road on the left and descend to Aignerville, passing the church and cemetery (south-west).

(6) Make a return trip to the left to see a lime kiln, then continue along the D198 road for 1 km. At the D124 "Ecrammeville-Trévières" intersection, go straight ahead on a path for 800 m.
Followthe red and yellowGRP® markings until you return.
At the next intersection, take the road on the right (north-east) and head back towards Ecrammeville, then turn left before the calvary (west) and at the next T-junction, turn left towards "le Marais".

(7) At the Y-junction, turn right for about 100 metres, then after crossing the bridge, follow the Aure river on the right (north-west) for about 400 metres, then cross another bridge on the right.

(8) Continue along this path, which leads to a road crossing "Le Hameau Pourri", until you reach the starting point.

(9) Pass in front of the wash house.

A lovely walk between two showers, some paths were a bit muddy but that's to be expected given the weather. Saw two storks. Very beautiful houses. Would like to do it again in sunny, dry weather.

Nice hike in strong winds.

Very good explanations about the route.

Some lovely spots (an old kiln with a commemorative plaque) and the porch of a property nearby.

Beautiful views of the Aure and its meanders.

Thank you for these walks.

Nice hike with beautiful views of the valley, just a bit too much road, but because of the fairly old land consolidation, they removed a lot of paths... 2.5 hours for the route. Thank you for your work.

The starting point is not easy to find (my SUBARU car GPS does not recognise Ecrammenville place de la Mairie) and the starting point is not given in ° ' ".
A lovely little walk to discover a bit of the Normandy countryside.
Thank you.
