A very pleasant short hike, but not to be attempted in wet weather. The paths were like lakes for most of the route. But that didn't spoil the atmosphere: it was pure joy!

A pleasant walk, especially the first part in the forest.
In St Georges, we turned left just after the village hall between markers 5 and 6 to avoid the main road with its heavy traffic, which is nicer when you have a dog with you. This takes you straight to the water tower.
Otherwise, the Chasse Marée is a bit muddy after the recent rains.
You can avoid the bends on the road leading out of the tide pool by continuing along the path that opens up after them.

Pleasant hike, beautiful village to walk through, no difficulties
But no signposting, luckily there's the app on your phone
and the path is very poorly maintained at the Chaussée-Marée crossing

a superb hike under glorious sunshine, half in the shade at the edge of the woods, half in the sun... No difficulty finding your way. Nine pleasant kilometres that the ladies accompanying me thoroughly enjoyed. Alain

a lovely walk, especially if you like the forest. The first part is superb
. The second part is mainly through cultivated fields. It's pretty if you like the countryside . Overall, it's a nice walk, best done in dry weather. No problems

The climb and walk through the forest were very pleasant, but the return to the plain via the Chasse-Marée was more difficult due to the muddy condition of the path

Thank you for this very pleasant trip.
For your information, as it is not easy to park near the church, because we are a group of about twenty vehicles, we parked 300 metres further on, on the right after the traffic lights.

An easy route that is very pleasant in dry weather, but definitely best avoided in wet weather.
A lovely stretch through the woods with beautiful views of the Cailly valley.

There may be some confusion regarding point 4.
follow the GR25C to the D87. -> Before reaching the D87, you will come to an unmarked tarmac road. Continue along this road (on the right) to reach the D87. The GR is not well signposted at this point.

Otherwise, it is a shaded route across flat terrain. We will do it again in bright sunshine, which should be pleasant.

Towards the end, it is possible to cut out some of the dangerous bends on the Saint-Georges road by taking a path with a turnstile.

Exactly as described. Not much tarmac. Very pleasant forest trail, muddier in the plains as always at this time of year (late winter).
Thank you, Visorando
