Start at Genêts, Quai de l'Amirauté near the coast, on the right bank of the river that runs through the village (spacious car park).
Red and white + yellow markings
(S/E) From the car park, cross the river via a footbridge (not shown on the map) and head south-east along a wide path. Pass a chapel on your left and come out onto a small road. Follow it to the right for about 100 metres.
(1) When the road turns left, leave it and continue straight ahead on Chemin du Manet. After about 150 m, at a fork, take the path on the right. Walk along a hedge on your right.
(2) At the next fork (pond on the right), take the path on the left and go up under a tunnel of vegetation. Climb over a wooden fence and continue on a track at the edge of the meadow, as close as possible to the hedge on the right. Climb over a second wooden fence and continue on a path. Then go through two fences with a passageway. Go down a wooden staircase and come out at the end of a paved road.
(3) Continue along the path opposite. After a few metres, when the path turns left (gate), turn right. Follow the coastal path, keeping the grassy fences on your right (note the wooden barriers with "scarves", typical of the Cotentin region). Ignore all paths, tracks and roads on the left. Go through a gate on the path (close it behind you), continue for a few dozen metres along a wide grassy track and you will come to a junction with a track coming from the left (gate).
(4) Continue straight ahead on the grassy track, go through another gate (by opening and closing it or using a stile) and continue along the coastal path. Continue along a gravel track and then go through a gate. Then follow a track along the edge of a meadow at the foot of a small hill on your left, with the foreshore close by on your right. Go through another gate to leave the meadow.
(5) Then turn left and climb between two dense hedges. At the top, follow a road downhill to the right. Pass a car park on the left and follow the path to the right towards Grouin du Sud. After a bench on the right, continue along a path and finally over the easy rocks of the point.
(6) Continue on theGR®® via a path that heads east below the point (on the right when you have your back to Mont Saint-Michel). After an easy passage through the rocks, continue through the grassy area. After a mini-beach, turn north onto the path.
Yellow markings
(7) At a marker on the coastal path (signposted "domaine public"), turn left and leave theGR®®223straight ahead. Climb up along a hedge on the left. At the top, follow a road to the right. At a gate, leave the road and take a stony path on the left. Head north-northwest between hedges and meadows until you reach a road (ignore a path on the left).
(8) Follow the road to the left, then take the first road on the right, Rue des Chevaliers. At the end of the street, turn left twice and you will reach the Prieuré Saint-Léonard at No. 1 Route de Frichot (the chapel is open to visitors).
(9) Follow Route de Frichot, then turn left and walk alongside the chapel on your left. Ignore a turn-off on the right, turn left with the street and go downhill. At the T-junction, turn right and continue downhill. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead towards the eco-museum. At the next crossroads, go straight ahead, go through a gate and rejoin the wide grassy path you took on the way there.
Red and white + yellow markings
(4) Turn right and follow the coastal path in the opposite direction, along the fenced grassy area (on your left this time), until you reach the small paved road at the foot of a wooden staircase.
Yellow + orange markings
(3) Follow the road to the right, ignore a path on the right and go uphill. After a right-hand bend, leave the road and take a grassy path on the left. Head north-west between meadows and fields, ignoring all the paths on either side.
(10) At a three-way junction, turn left along a fence on the left. After a few metres, at a fork, turn right and away from the fence.
Orange signpost
(11) At the next junction, follow a small road on the left (ignore the yellow markings on the right). Join the coastal path again.
Red and white + yellow markings
(1) Turn right with the road and, after about 100 metres, turn left onto a path. Follow the coastal path in the opposite direction to the outward journey until you reach the footbridge leading to the car park (S/E).
