Dué route in Saint-Germain-de-Pasquier

L'Oison was formerly known as Le Bec, Le Becquet (from the Norse bekkr meaning stream), but also Le Dué or Douet (from the Celtic four meaning running water). Discover beautiful Norman houses as well as around twenty species of wild orchids growing in the valley, which is classified as a natural area of faunistic and floristic interest.

The Fontaine Sainte-Clothilde, a miraculous spring, was for a long time a popular place of pilgrimage for the healing of all kinds of ailments. It is said that it gave strength to children who were slow to walk, who were then immersed in the very cold water of the spring.

Hike completed on 22 February. No particular issues.
Pretty villages to walk through. However, the path is very muddy, so make sure you wear good walking shoes.

A beautiful, well-marked hike that can be done in either direction because it is so well marked. That's what I did, and it allowed me to see the landscape from a different angle! What's more, the sun was shining and there was a light breeze! A lovely spot to visit at this time of year.

The 9 km DUE route was marked in yellow and, with the directions given in "details", it was impossible to get lost. The trail was very well marked and there was very little tarmac.
It was a bit hilly, but the elevation gain was moderate and added to the charm of the varied landscape: green canopy, beautiful properties, horses in the meadows...
Highly recommended and definitely worth doing again.

Very nice route, combining town, forest and fields.
From points 1 to 3, no problem, but from point 4 onwards, going up into the forest, if it has rained during the week, the path is muddy and a real pain to walk on, so make sure you wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty 😂
Then, when we return to the road towards point 5, I think, we start on a very narrow path, dodging branches and nettles. But it's no big deal, you have to be prepared for adventure.
Be careful on the last kilometre, which descends steeply into the forest.
In conclusion, it was our first hike and we enjoyed the scenery. It's not boring at all, you go up and down, and the landscape changes often. For a first hike, if you want to go on an adventure, it's perfect.

Well-marked route in yellow. Impossible to get lost. Varied, rolling landscapes: forest, undergrowth, hamlets with some beautiful properties and the pretty mini town hall at the starting point.
