Coudeville-sur-Mer walks

Just 3 km from the coast, this route takes us through the Normandy countryside, mainly along paths and trails.

A short walk for the whole family, starting from the village of Hudimesnil. You can enjoy the park, which is ideal for picnics with its ponds and children's playground.

The Vanlée is a short 16 km river in Normandy which, before flowing into the English Channel, irrigates a 10-hectare marsh, the Havre de la Vanlée, classified as a natural heritage site since 1988. Covered with salt meadows, grasslands and salt marshes, it is crossed by a submersible road that is covered during high tides. Some 150 species of birds have been recorded there. There are also sheep and rabbits!

After a short walk along the sea, discover the Normandy countryside, dunes and marshes as you turn off onto small country roads. Along the way, you will encounter a few reminders of the past, as well as curious donkeys, sheep and even a small stream hidden in the greenery...

At the mouth of the small coastal river La Vanlée, a hike close to the sea and its vast horizons. The route alternates between passages through the dunes, the salt marshes where salt-meadow sheep graze, and the beach.

Discovery of the Upper Town of Granville and the childhood home of the fashion designer Christian Dior, transformed into a museum, starting from the Donville-les-Bains beach.

This short walk will take you around Saint Pair sur Mer, alternating between different types of paths/small roads and landscapes, including bocage, town and shopping areas, allowing you to discover the surrounding area.

Facing the sea, Granville developed at the tip of the Pointe du Roc, which closes off the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, where the strongest tides in Europe swell. Granville is a dynamic town that relies on its reputation as a tourist destination. Its maritime vocation, which is not to be outdone, contributes to this. This walk will allow you to discover the pretty Norman pirate town perched on its rock and surrounded by its ramparts. This town is reminiscent of the charms of its cousin, Saint-Malo.

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.

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

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.

Pointe d'Agon is a magnificent protected natural area that you can explore on this route. On this site, which has been listed since 1989, you can gradually discover this exceptional area as you walk along the coastline and through the dunes covered with marram grass (perennial plants that grow in sandy soil).
