In the countryside around Langrune-sur-Mer

This short route, taking just over an hour, forms a circular route, partly along the cycle path, then continuing through the fields before discovering a fitness trail that takes us back along the fields and past La Capricieuse (campsite) to Luc-sur-Mer. The final stretch leads back to Langrune via a small footpath, then through a housing estate, so there are no major roads.

Description of the walk

Parking spaces available on Rue Jean Monnet.

(S/E) Head towards the Parc des Chasses roundabout along Rue Abbé Rollland, go round it on the left, then cross over and continue left onto the cycle path which runs alongside Rue de Langrune (D7) and is later separated from the road by a small hedge. Do not go as far as the other roundabout.

(1) Turn left to cross the D7 and take the small path leading straight ahead into the field.

(2) Turn right to take a short detour around the fitness trail equipment and admire the beautiful flowerbed in the middle of the grassy area.

(3) Cross the bridge over the Capricieuse and set off again along the small path on the left.

(4) Cross back over the path you came along, and continue straight on along the Capricieuse until you reach the road to Luc-sur-Mer (D84).

(5) First turn left then right to rejoin the path along the Capricieuse, walk past the campsite of the same name and continue to a junction near Avenue Lecuyer.

(6) Take the small stony path on the left, which runs past "Terre et Mer" and eventually leads onto Rue du Moulin. Turn left and walk for about fifty metres.

(7) Enter the housing estate on the left, then turn right onto Rue des Essarts.

(8) Go straight on round the bend, straight on again at the junction, then turn onto Rue Louis Gouin. At the end of the street, turn right onto Rue des Glaïeuls and follow it until it joins Rue Jean Monnet, where the car park is located (S/E).

Lovely views of the rolling countryside. The path was a bit damp in places, but nothing too serious. There are a few beautiful houses to discover along the Laize and the Orne. Then we spotted part of the greenway from the opposite bank.

Everything was very well signposted.
The section along the road (on the cycle path) was quite noisy with the cars.
Once we were on the more secluded paths, the walk became more pleasant. We took advantage of the low tide to make a detour to the beach (impossible at high tide). At stage 6, we decided to continue towards Avenue de l’Écuyer. We skipped the following stages to return to our starting point via Rue de la Plage, heading back up from the beach at that point. After that, it was a straight shot.

There are no particular difficulties on this short walk across flat terrain. We extended the route slightly by heading down to the sea.
