The walk starts at the Diélette marina. A large car park offers plenty of space, even in July. The start point is next to the brasserie overlooking the marina.
(S/E) Head south along the promenade that circles the harbour, allowing you to avoid the main road.
(1) Just before the southern jetty, a small road climbs to the left towards the hamlet of Diélette. Follow it for 300 m. Note the row of pretty Norman houses built from local stone, as well as the superb view of the harbour and the sea.
(2) Take the second road up to the left, Chemin de Vaumille. This small road climbs steeply and joins the D4 road leading to Flamanville. Cross it carefully, continuing in the same direction to reach the hamlet of Métot. Note the buildings and the farmhouse on the left, both in very good condition and built from local stone.
(3) Carry on and, after a bend, the small road turns into a sunken lane that winds through the countryside before reaching the hamlet of Le Bois, then joins the fairly busy road (D23).
(4) Cross this road carefully, veering to the right, then take the small path immediately to the left, which quickly reaches the hamlet of Bourget and continues along a small road. Keep going in the same direction. The road crosses three small streams which, a little further on, form the River Diélette, and arrives at a junction in front of a huge farmhouse.
(5) Take the D65 to the left and, from here, follow the signs for Lodge l’Épinerie. To do this, at the three-way junction, leave the road that continues to the right uphill, then keep right at the next junction and left at the following one. Continue along the path that climbs steeply after the lodge and reach a Stop sign (D4). Turn left and go for about fifty metres.
(6) Then turn right onto theD4E1, towards Siouville. Pass the small road leading to Siouville on the right, then take the first small road on the left (a single-track lane) a little further on. Continue straight on, passing two paths on the left, then, at the crossroads, continue straight on. Don’t miss the superb views on the right. At the end of the road, go past a hairpin bend and continue along a path down to the hamlet of Les Banques, which overlooks a bay and the sea.
(7) Take the coastal path on the left. This is theGR® trail. Follow the path for 2 km, enjoying magnificent views of the sea. You will arrive at the marina at Diélette (S/E).
