Montmartin-en-Graignes walks

Taking the new paths created by the land consolidation in Montmartin-en-Graignes, this route allows you to explore the countryside on the edge of the marshes. It offers some beautiful views.

This route is an addition to the route entitled: Between Land and Marsh -1-.

A picturesque family walk along country lanes, sunken paths and forest trails. Best undertaken outside of rainy periods, as water may pool on some paths.

Picauville is surrounded by two rivers, the Ouve to the south and the Merderet to the east, and forms a peninsula in winter when the marshes are ‘white’. It rises to an altitude of 29 metres. The suggested route runs alongside the marshes before heading into the bocage along sunken lanes or ‘chasses’.

Ce territoire, facilement accessible de la côte et de l'intérieur du Cotentin par des chemins de grande randonnée constitue un trait d'union géographique entre Saint-Lô, la capitale du cheval et Coutances, Pays d'art et d'Histoire. C'est un territoire vallonné qui comprend de nombreuses zones humides (marais). Il est traversé par la voie romaine (D 535) qui reliait Abrincae, nom romain d'Avranches et Alauna, Valognes.

A beautiful route in the heart of nature, along the Vire river, very quiet and very pleasant.

Hiking around Coutances No. 10.A lovely walk around the River La Soulles.This short walk takes us along paths and small local or district roads on a journey through the valley and hillsides of one of Coutances’ three rivers, the Soulles, in the villages to the south-east of Coutances.The route passes by some very pretty local stone houses (or outbuildings from old farms).

Coutances, the historic former capital of the Cotentin, offers a contrasting spectacle of countryside almost within the city. This hike takes you through the outskirts of the town, winding its way through the three valleys that surround it, each with its own lazy river. Half on land and half on roads or alleyways, the urban passages allow you to discover a small part of Coutances' heritage, despite the industrial area that spoils the pleasure a little, but you quickly forget about that.
