Description of the walk

Parking and starting point: the town hall car park, Rue de Thuit-Anger; see also practical information.

(S/E) Leave the car park by turning left and heading towards the traffic lights. Cross the roads and continue straight ahead, going against the one-way flow, along Rue de la Fermanière. Continue along this road until you reach the junction opposite the church at Bec-Thomas.

(1) Cross the Route de la vallée de l’Oison and continue along the road opposite, with the church on your right. Turn right onto Rue de l’Église. At the Y-junction, keep right until the first turn-off on the right.

(2) Turn right onto Route de Fouqueville, pass the walnut tree on your right (the only tree on this road), and turn into the first track on the right. At the next crossroads, carry on straight ahead. Turn right onto the road until you reach the junction. Carry on straight ahead; take care when crossing the road – this is the Grande Rue in the village of Saint-Ouen-de-Pontcheuil. Turn onto the second street on the right, Rue des Lodieu, until you reach the junction.

(3) Take Rue du Château on the right (D591), ignore a turning on the right, and pass in front of the large barrier. Follow the road to the next fork and carry on straight ahead onto Route du Moulin in Saint-Amand-des-Hautes-Terres. Ignore a turn-off to the left with a barrier and, at the bend to the right, take the path leading uphill to the left until you reach the tarmac.

(4) Carry on straight ahead along Rue Boutricart and turn into the first street on the right, Chemin de l’Enfer. Cross a road and continue straight ahead along Rue Boissemont; ignore a turn-off to the left and carry on straight ahead until you reach the T-junction with a view of the church. Turn left onto Route de Tourville (D86) and continue to the town hall.

(5) Turn into the small lane on the right, just after the town hall, Sente de l’École, and carry on straight ahead onto Route de Tourville. Then turn right onto Rue de la Grande Mare, carry on straight ahead against the one-way flow onto Chemin des Hayes, until you reach the road at the bottom of the lane. Turn right onto Rue de l’Oison, continue to the Fork in the road and follow the left-hand branch to the next junction.

(6) Cross the D26 and carry on straight ahead along Rue du Bosc-Féré; ignore the dead end and turn right. At the junction, carry on straight ahead along Rue Guy de Maupassant until you reach the hamlet of La Moutonnière. Walk for about 90 metres until you reach the electricity substation on your right, signposted for three different routes. Turn right onto the path called Rue Gustave Flaubert, rejoin the D26 at the ‘Saint-Pierre-des-Fleurs’ sign, cross it and continue straight ahead along the Chemins des Forrières for a few metres.

(7) Ignore the Chemin des Forrières, which branches off to the left, and carry on along the path opposite, heading south, to the edge of the woods. After the woods, cross the field to reach the woods on the other side. Continue along the path opposite until you reach the junction with a Stop sign (D840).

(8) Cross it carefully, then continue straight ahead past the white boundary markers onto Impasse de la Vieille Côte. Walk up the slope to the car wash. Continue straight ahead, following the fence on your right, with the car wash on your left, and rejoin the main road, the D840, after a few metres.

(9) Follow it to the right for approximately 90 metres. Take a street on the right, passing the fixed barriers, onto Chemin de la Fontaine des Poiriers. At the junction, turn left onto Rue de la Fermanière and continue up to the stop sign. Cross the D840 and D26 roads and continue to the town hall car park (S/E).

Some adjustments need to be made to the written description, for example: ‘go straight ahead’ when there is only one field – why not have written ‘take the road on the right to reach…’ Also: after the walnut tree, there is first a dirt track followed by a grassy path, so it should state to take the proper local track 300 metres to the right of the walnut tree. The barrier well past the castle is in fact a ‘barricade belonging to a hydroelectric plant or similar facility’. This walk involves too much tarmac; it doesn’t showcase the beauty of the Oison Valley sufficiently.

Starting from La Saussaye, the path quickly opens up onto alternating undergrowth and small country lanes. The route allows you to enjoy a peaceful, green rural environment. After a pleasant warm-up, you reach Saint-Germain-de-Pasquier, a charming Norman village known for having the smallest town hall in France: with a surface area of around 8 m² (2.7 metres by 3), it is indeed one of the smallest town halls in France, listed in the Guinness Book of Records. It is housed in the former Sainte-Clotilde chapel, which was deconsecrated at the beginning of the 20th century and converted by a naval architect accustomed to small spaces. A short photo break is a must before continuing on to the Saint-Louis Collegiate Church, a beautiful building whose architecture combines simplicity and elegance.
