The route passes along both sides of the Diane valley and offers a view of the canton of Tinchebray from Sainte-Radegonde Chapel.

From the banks of the cool Val la Hère stream, you will climb to the heights of Plainville and Bourg d'Ouilly, where the view is remarkable.

This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful walks in the Lassay-les-Châteaux area. Lots of sunken paths, some woodland and a stream.
