Douve (fleuve) walks

Set off to explore Brévands, a picturesque little village in the Baie des Veys at the heart of the polders, rich in built and natural heritage. Walk along the dirt tracks, follow the Douve river and admire the typical buildings of the area.

During this walk, you will discover Carentan, a town with architectural heritage dating from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.

Marina tower. Passage through the lock and the two bell towers.

Picauville is surrounded by two rivers, the Ouve to the south and the Merderet to the east, and forms a peninsula in winter when the marshes are ‘white’. It rises to an altitude of 29 metres. The suggested route runs alongside the marshes before heading into the bocage along sunken lanes or ‘chasses’.

This walk around Rocheville gives pride of place to paths and small roads. It passes through the Bois de la Grande Roche, the Bois de la Petite Roche and its covered walkway, which are real curiosities in the area. There are many passages through woods or forests, which are fairly sheltered from the sun and allow you to discover a slightly wilder side of the Cotentin. Some passages can be a little damp depending on the season, and hiking boots are recommended to prevent slipping.
