Brévands walks

Set off to explore Brévands, a picturesque little village in the Baie des Veys at the heart of the polders, rich in built and natural heritage. Walk along the dirt tracks, follow the Douve river and admire the typical buildings of the area.

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

This very accessible hike starting from Trévières immerses you in a marshy landscape lulled by the passage of the Tortonne river.

This circuit is an encounter between nature and history. A superb route along one of the most beautiful beaches in Normandy. It combines paths through woods, fields, orchards and pastures, and also takes in this important place of remembrance where thousands of American soldiers landed to liberate France from Nazi occupation. A visit to the American military cemetery is a must. You can also stroll along the beautiful Omaha Beach.

Circular via the coastal path facing Saint-Vast-la-Hougue, then through the countryside overlooking the bay. Alternating between quiet country roads and shaded paths. Two imposing churches, those of Morsalines and Grenneville, take us back to the days when the bay was the scene of naval conflicts.

A short stroll around the charming port of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. Crossing to Tatihou Island and visit to Vauban's fortifications. Although less popular than the neighbouring departments of Brittany, the English Channel offers equally wonderful landscapes that are less populated but wild and varied. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to discover this region, especially its marshes and the headlands and cliffs of the Cotentin Peninsula.

Starting from the village mill, set off to explore the sunken lanes of Muneville-le-Bingard. Some of the sunken paths were reopened by volunteers from the Bocage et Patrimoine Munevillais association in 2024. A few paths are maintained by volunteers, depending on their availability, and the grass may be a little high at certain times of the year.

This walk around Rocheville gives pride of place to paths and small roads. It passes through the Bois de la Grande Roche, the Bois de la Petite Roche and its covered walkway, which are real curiosities in the area. There are many passages through woods or forests, which are fairly sheltered from the sun and allow you to discover a slightly wilder side of the Cotentin. Some passages can be a little damp depending on the season, and hiking boots are recommended to prevent slipping.

A walk to discover Bricquebec and the countryside around the Trappist abbey.

A varied hike that starts in a nature reserve with bird observatories. You then stroll pleasantly through the countryside, mostly on shaded paths. The end of the hike takes place by the sea and on the dunes overlooking it.

The hike is accessible to a wide range of people as there are no difficult sections.

This walk allows you to admire the two essential aspects of Barfleur that make it so rich and charming: the port and the architecture of its heritage (typical buildings and roofs).

After the first part of the walk along the coast between Barfleur and Pointe de la Loge, the route continues through the countryside, where you can discover the beautiful church of Montfarville.

This walk follows theGR®223from the Port of Barfleur to the Havre de Gattemare, passing by the Gatteville Lighthouse. The return journey is partly inland, rejoining theGR®223at the Havre de Crabec and returning to the starting point.

This route offers two aspects of this commune. The first part takes you through the countryside along farm tracks, where you can admire the rich architecture dominated by the Manoir d'Imbranville and the church of Gouberville. The second part is along the coast, where numerous blockhouses punctuate the coastal path.

A long walk between the sea and the marshes, then through the Normandy countryside, discovering a miraculous fountain and the beautiful watermill where the Norman poet Marie Ravenel lived.

Between woods and the seaside, this hike requires waterproof shoes after rain (risk of mud).There is little elevation gain but a variety of terrain: a section of paved road, a coastal path and a sandy section.

After an initial section in the Cotentin countryside, the route continues across grasslands, home to salt marsh sheep, along the River Sienne and its mouth.

A short, refreshing walk between grasslands and dunes, with the sea never far away.

This hike allows you to discover the impressive Cherbourg harbour. It can be done on foot, but can also be a short family bike ride. The paths are accessible by bike everywhere and the route includes a large number of cycle paths. Despite the short distance, the climbs are not insignificant. The second part of the hike allows you to enjoy the relatively rural countryside and quaint corners around the town.

A varied hike that alternates between paths and small country roads and coastal trails, with beautiful views and attractive heritage buildings along the way.

A hike that starts in the middle of the dunes near the sea and goes to Le Havre de la Vanlée, the beautiful mouth of this river in the English Channel. The return journey is further inland and, in hot weather, offers welcome shade.
