Description of the walk

Start from the square by the town hall and the church.

Yellow markings on the FFR route maintained by the Lieuvin Pays d'Auge Community of Communes

(S/E) Set off along the small lane between the town hall and the church, which passes in front of the war memorial. At the end of the square, follow the pavement to the right, passing the Maison des Associations, the playground and the football stadium. At the end of Avenue du Stade, turn left into Rue du Flaneur and pass the cemetery.

(1) At the crossroads, continue straight on, then straight on again into a sunken lane. You will enter an authentic bocage landscape where the path is flanked by embankments and hedgerows.

(2) At the end of the lane, turn left and cross the D 810 (watch out for traffic).

(3) Turn right onto the "Chemin du Seureur" and continue straight on along the dirt track. At the end of this track, take the small road to the left.

(4) Turn right onto the path that runs alongside a wood and then crosses open fields. Back on the tarmac, head left.

(5) At the crossroads in front of the poultry farm, take the path on the left. At the end of the path, cross a small road and continue straight on for 200 m.

(6) Take the path on the left which leads you back into the hedgerow countryside. At the crossroads, turn right and continue to a small road.

(7) At the end of Impasse du Seureur, take the small road to the left, which offers a lovely view of the countryside as far as the bell tower of Lieurey.

(3) At the Hauts Vents crossroads (where the route meets the outward path), turn onto the path on the right.

(8) At the end of the path on the plain, take the small road on the right to go straight through the hamlet of La Chapelle. At the large five-way junction in front of the ruined chapel, turn left onto Rue de la Lèproserie.

(9) Cross the main road in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary. Then turn left onto the small road called "Chemin des Tisserands". At the end of the street, take the pavement to the left to enter the village and reach the main square via Île Bavarde (S/E).

I did the long version, and I really enjoyed it.
Between the countryside and the woods: a lovely country walk.
Thank you.

A superb 9.3-kilometre walk through the Normandy countryside.

The route is very well signposted; there are a few slightly muddy sections but they’re fairly easy to get through without too much trouble.

The route is very well signposted; you really just need to follow the yellow route. And if you only want to do the short circular route, it’s also very easy to find and very well signposted

However, there isn’t much of particular interest to see on this walk.
Take care when crossing the road, as there is quite a lot of traffic.
There were no other walkers given the time of year.
