Longueville walks

A very pleasant walk around Longueville in the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Nature Park.

This circuit is an encounter between nature and history. A superb route along one of the most beautiful beaches in Normandy. It combines paths through woods, fields, orchards and pastures, and also takes in this important place of remembrance where thousands of American soldiers landed to liberate France from Nazi occupation. A visit to the American military cemetery is a must. You can also stroll along the beautiful Omaha Beach.

The route follows footpaths and cycle paths in Bayeux Intramuros, the botanical garden and the stadium, paths outside Bayeux and recently built wooden footbridges to cross a marshy area.

A short, easy walk offering views of the Bessin coast between Arromanches and Manvieux. You will have a commanding view of Arromanches and its artificial harbour and walk along the coastal cliffs. But be careful not to get too close to the cliffs as there is a risk of collapse.

Starting from Ryes, this route combines small country lanes in the Bessin plain, the sea and history. It will introduce you to several facets of this agricultural and tourist region through its beaches and its turbulent history, the scale of which is illustrated by the remains of the artificial port of Arromanches.

Circuit starting from the village of Nonant, passing through several villages such as Martragny, Vaux and Carcagny with views of several castles and manor houses.

This short walk between two villages in Bessin will allow you to discover the beautiful Normandy countryside. It is not particularly difficult. It mainly follows footpaths or farm tracks and a few roads with little traffic. Only the 150 m section on the D153 is a little busier.

This short walk will allow you to discover Asnelles, a small coastal village, and Arromanches, a small seaside town with its artificial harbour, where traces of the D-Day landings are still clearly visible. You will walk along the coast and even cross the beach. You can visit the Asnelles shortbread biscuit factory, the Arromanches museum and admire the landscape overlooking the sea and the port. The return journey will take you along the paths of the Normandy countryside with a glimpse of the coastline.

A short stroll around the charming port of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. Crossing to Tatihou Island and visit to Vauban's fortifications. Although less popular than the neighbouring departments of Brittany, the English Channel offers equally wonderful landscapes that are less populated but wild and varied. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to discover this region, especially its marshes and the headlands and cliffs of the Cotentin Peninsula.

The hike is accessible to a wide range of people as there are no difficult sections.

Circular via the coastal path facing Saint-Vast-la-Hougue, then through the countryside overlooking the bay. Alternating between quiet country roads and shaded paths. Two imposing churches, those of Morsalines and Grenneville, take us back to the days when the bay was the scene of naval conflicts.

An easy route along beautiful paths through woods and hedgerows, passing through a typical village of the Pays Bocain.

Between paths, plains and undergrowth, this hike will delight you with its scenery. Like all hikes in the bocage, it is hilly with a good little climb. The route is very well marked with yellow signs.

This walk allows you to admire the two essential aspects of Barfleur that make it so rich and charming: the port and the architecture of its heritage (typical buildings and roofs).

This walk follows theGR®223from the Port of Barfleur to the Havre de Gattemare, passing by the Gatteville Lighthouse. The return journey is partly inland, rejoining theGR®223at the Havre de Crabec and returning to the starting point.

After the first part of the walk along the coast between Barfleur and Pointe de la Loge, the route continues through the countryside, where you can discover the beautiful church of Montfarville.

A long walk between the sea and the marshes, then through the Normandy countryside, discovering a miraculous fountain and the beautiful watermill where the Norman poet Marie Ravenel lived.

This route offers two aspects of this commune. The first part takes you through the countryside along farm tracks, where you can admire the rich architecture dominated by the Manoir d'Imbranville and the church of Gouberville. The second part is along the coast, where numerous blockhouses punctuate the coastal path.

A very pleasant walk through the undergrowth, with the sound of small streams flowing through this magnificent forest. Lots of mushrooms in season.

Ouffières welcomes you to a large square beautifully decorated with flowers. You can then set off to discover magnificent stone houses before following the Orne River as it winds its way through the Swiss Normandy.

Swiss Normandy: valleys, springs, streams, fir trees, small villages – everything you need to have a great day out and come home tired.
