Hike completed yesterday.
There were a few climbs and descents, one of which was a bit steep, but apart from that, the route was fairly accessible.
It's worth noting that when I arrived at the beach, I got the impression that it was a naturist beach... or maybe people are just very relaxed around here

On one side, a coastline of steep cliffs forming numerous headlands, at the foot of which lie pebble beaches such as Le Petit Havre; on the other, peaceful countryside traversed by a long, green valley and fields – the Tour du Coucou thus follows in the footsteps of the fishermen of yesteryear. Its very name evokes them, as the ‘Coucou’ refers to the greeting that women used to give to sailors from the top of the cliff.
