(S) The starting point is the car park located at the roundabout near the Pont des Belges. Trouville-Deauville train station is only 200 metres away for those arriving by train. There are numerous car parks available in the surrounding area.
Start off down the small alleyway Rue Circulaire between the Joinville bar and the Lelièvre patisserie. At the end, go up the steps on the right and cross the Boulevard d'Hautpoul. Take the Rue de la Marine opposite. From here, follow the red and whiteGR® signs.
At the end of Rue de la Marine, go up to the left, then immediately right and quickly left again towards Rue du Rocher. At the top, leave Rue Winston Churchill on your right and Rue Berthier on your left. Pass in front of the school playground to reach the next crossroads.
(1) Turn right onto Avenue Beauregard. At the stop sign, turn left onto Chemin de Callenville, which climbs and winds (be careful, there are a few cars on this road).
(2) After about 800 metres, at a large contemporary house, turn left up a wooded lane called Chemin Vert. This lane widens out in its second section and leads to a small road, Chemin des Bruzettes, which you take to the right for 150 metres.
(3) At the crossroads, turn left onto the slightly uphill gravel path. After about 400 metres, cross a wide avenue (take care) and head opposite towards an industrial estate. Drive through the industrial estate, taking the first left. Pass the vehicle testing centre and turn right at the end of the street. 100 metres further on, you will find a wooded path called Chemin des Closages on the left between the meadows.
(4) Turn left onto this road and continue straight ahead. After about 500 metres, ignore a road on the left and continue straight ahead. You will pass some houses and come to a road. Go up this road on the left. You will then leave the village of Villerville, which you have just entered.
(5) At the top of a very small hill, turn right onto Chemin du Bas Couyère au Sémaphore, towards the semaphore. After 150 metres, turn right and continue along the road immediately to the left. In front of the semaphore, turn left onto Chemin des Creuniers, which runs along the cliff, offering beautiful views. After 300 metres, turn left after the last house (be careful opposite, the road is dangerous due to rockfalls) to return to a small paved road, which you take to the right onto Chemin des Bruyères. Continue straight ahead on Chemin des Aubets.
(6) At the stop sign, turn right onto a slightly larger road, Ancienne Route de Villerville, with a pavement on your left. Leave Chemin de la Mare aux Guerriers on your left, then Résidence des Bruzettes.
At the three-way junction, turn left towards the Delamare Primary School onto Chemin des Frémonts. Pass between the school and the water tower, then continue straight ahead at the crossroads, ignoring the main road on your left. Continue along Chemin des Frémonts. The road first crosses the countryside, then a path through a small wood, before becoming a road again with a superb view of Deauville and Trouville.
(7) A little further down, take the hairpin bend completely to the right, then after 100 metres, take a hairpin bend to the left towards a wide, wooded, stony path called Chemin de Bagatelle. Continue downhill to the left along Avenue Pierre Cassagnavère. You will arrive at a crossroads with a major road. Continue straight ahead on Rue de la Cavée (the road that descends the most) and after 100 metres, turn right onto Escalier Serpent.
(8) At the bottom of the stairs, go up Rue Thiers opposite, then turn right onto Rue de la Chapelle and left onto Rue Croix to reach Trouville beach. Then go up the Promenade des Planches to the left until you reach the casino and the pier.
(9) In front of the pier, go around the casino building and follow the river Touques along the quays. You will pass behind the fish market and come to the Pont des Belges, the starting point of the walk (E).
