Montmartin-en-Graignes walks

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

Set off to explore Brévands, a picturesque little village in the Baie des Veys at the heart of the polders, rich in built and natural heritage. Walk along the dirt tracks, follow the Douve river and admire the typical buildings of the area.

During this walk, you will discover Carentan, a town with architectural heritage dating from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.

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

A hike along small roads, hedgerow paths and marsh edges.

An easy hike between land and sea, ending with a visit to the historic site of Pointe du Hoc. Do not follow the beach afterwards (5) as it is difficult to climb back up and is submerged at high tide. See the notices.

This very accessible hike starting from Trévières immerses you in a marshy landscape lulled by the passage of the Tortonne river.

A family-friendly route along country lanes and roads.

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.

This hike takes you along little-used paths, including coastal and country trails.

A lovely walk between the sea and the countryside along paths and small roads. You will discover the ruins of the Saint-Michel de Lestre Chapel overlooking the small Sinope valley. As you walk around the charming little port, you will pass by the floodgates.

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

Starting from the village mill, set off to explore the sunken lanes of Muneville-le-Bingard. Some of the sunken paths were reopened by volunteers from the Bocage et Patrimoine Munevillais association in 2024. A few paths are maintained by volunteers, depending on their availability, and the grass may be a little high at certain times of the year.

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.

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.
