A dreary and monotonous route. You hardly ever see the sea. There is nothing of interest except walking.

Windy country walk.
Some elevation gain. The route starts with a descent and an ascent, followed by a long, somewhat monotonous straight stretch through fields. The route becomes more pleasant from point 6 onwards, which is slightly wooded.
Apart from the wind, which tells us we are by the sea, we cannot see it except at the start in St Pierre en Port during the descent for a short moment.

A beautiful route with views of the horizon on the GR 21 trail that runs along the coast. Described as easy, I would say it is more moderate with two significant climbs at the start and finish.
On the way back, descend towards the Grandes Dalles and Petites Dalles valleys. Unmissable views.
Worth doing again.

A very pleasant walk, which we extended by following the blue markings of trail No. 7 Seine Maritime, which continues to the Eletot valley, which is well worth a visit.

A very beautiful hike, well signposted and marked, with glorious sunshine. Highly recommended, especially as it is not very long (2 hours 15 minutes).
