The Normandy countryside meets the Crevon

An easy hike along paths crossing plains, trails in the woods, small streets and villages, leading to the River Crevon, which winds its way through the countryside.
A few viewpoints, the Saint-Laurian Chapel and pretty Norman houses punctuate this route.

Well-marked route, but with tall grass and thick brambles. Point 11 is blocked by a chain, forcing you to take the road.

Hello,
I only did part of the route, about 11 km, without any difficulty. The paths were overgrown with tall grass...
Don't forget to visit the "feather garden".

Two interesting and varied circular loops through beautiful countryside. As a leader at the Barentin club, I split each loop up with a picnic lunch in Auzouville. Thank you for the detailed route information, which really helped me to follow the route.
Kind regards.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion.

Were you also blocked by private property between points (8) (altitude 150) and (9)?

Kind regards

The route is very varied and pleasant to follow. From the start in Auzouville, the path takes us through grassland rich in many species of passerines, a relatively rare landscape on the eastern plateau. We then take a fairly decent path across the plain to the ditch, but it is not particularly interesting. The descent to Saint Denis le Thiboult is along the road, which is less pleasant than a path, but these are very small roads with no traffic, and forest paths. The landscape is pleasant. There are many birds of prey on the route: several pairs of buzzards, kestrels and sparrowhawks.

Saint Denis is a beautiful little village with some lovely surprises in store. The circular forest path above is rather poorly signposted, leaving you wondering whether you are still on the right route. In January, the lambs are born. They are tiny and follow their mothers along the route.

The return to La Huchette has the disadvantage of taking us along the same route as on the way there. It's a bit long. On the other hand, the route as it was designed allows you to shorten the route (which is very long at 19 km if you go out in winter) by returning to the starting point without continuing on to the second circular route.

It is no longer possible to walk along the edge of the forest after point 150 (private property)...you must continue through a hamlet and take the first road on the right, then join the path on the right-hand side to get back on track.
