This circular route connects four small Norman villages: Thaon, Basly, Colomby-sur-Thaon and Anisy. The main attraction of this circular route is the opportunity to see Serge Saint's sculptures installed in these locations. Some parts of the route across the plain may seem long.

Come and discover the often overlooked village of Rots, which stretches along the Mue valley. Its architectural heritage is very diverse, consisting of both noble residences and farmhouses typical of the Caen plain.

Starting from Fresne-Camilly, walk along the edge and then along the Thue valley, from Cainet to Bout de Haut near Amblie, then return, enjoying the unobstructed view of the countryside in this part of the Caen plain.

Set off to explore the Thue Valley: Secqueville-en-Bessin, with its 11th-century church, fortified farms and white houses, and military cemetery. The bell tower of Secqueville dominates the horizon, watching over the Thue Valley, where the white houses of Bessin nestle.

Route around Fontaine-Henry Castle. Halfway between the city of Caen and the D-Day beaches, Fontaine-Henry Castle overlooks the green valley of the Mue. Its vertiginously high roofs tower above the centuries-old trees in the park and crown a richly sculpted façade combining 15th- and 16th-century styles.

A route that will allow you to discover the lovely wooded park of La Fossette de la Folie Couvrechef, returning via Saint-Contest.

Enjoy a pleasant walk along the Seulles Valley and through the surrounding countryside.

This romantic trail through the Odon Valley traces local history from Gonnor, grandmother of William the Conqueror, to Léopold Sédar Senghor, former President of Senegal and poet of the Negritude movement.

This beautiful walk near Caen takes us through the countryside to Verson and back along the Odons. The meadows, copses and small paths transport us back to the Middle Ages with the Barony estate, the mills and their ruins. We will also go to the source of the Petit Odon, which is not actually a source! Apart from the section that runs alongside the ring road, this is a peaceful walk in the countryside close to the Caen conurbation.

An amazing setting in the middle of nature and on the outskirts of Caen. Passing over and under the ring road reminds us of the proximity of the big city, which you forget as you cross the Odon six times via footbridges, old railway bridges and a ford. The path is popular with joggers. The "Course entre deux O" race follows part of this route in November.

This pleasant semi-urban walk starts in Douvres-la-Délivrande and takes you to Plumetot and Cresserons. In addition to the peace and charm of the surrounding countryside, you will discover a rich and varied architectural heritage, including the British military cemetery and the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Délivrande.

Stroll through the Bessin region of Normandy. Pass through villages steeped in history.

This walk connects the six dormant cemeteries of Caen, islands of greenery in the city, and takes you through the neighbourhoods surrounding the city centre.

Following in the footsteps of William the Conqueror and Queen Matilda, this urban route takes in the city's two superb Romanesque abbeys (for men and women) and the ducal castle. Several other churches, narrow streets and alleys, and a few public gardens complete the picture.

Discover the banks of the Orne River in Louvigny, the surrounding marshes and the charm of their rural landscapes.

Allemagne is the former name of Fleury-sur-Orne before 1917. Below, the Orne river flows lazily at the foot of the hillsides, where numerous limestone quarries have been dug over the centuries.

This short route, taking just over an hour, forms a circular route, partly along the cycle path, then continuing through the fields before discovering a fitness trail that takes us back along the fields and past La Capricieuse (campsite) to Luc-sur-Mer. The final stretch leads back to Langrune via a small footpath, then through a housing estate, so there are no major roads.

Enjoy the charms of Luc-sur-Mer, which will reveal its maritime and rural attractions to you.

A walk from Ifs to Mondeville and the Vallée Verte or Vallée Sèche lake. This valley, which follows the course of an old river, has been developed as a greenway (for pedestrians and cyclists).
