Parfouru-sur-Odon walks

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.

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

Discover the magnificent village of Le Locheur from the leisure centre. An ideal outing for the whole family. Heritage sites to visit: Gothic church, wash houses, Arry Manor.

Come and discover the diversity of the landscapes from Sainte-Honorine-du-Fay to Trois-Monts, enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside, let yourself be lulled by the gentle music of the streams and enjoy the calm of the Orne valley.

If you're passing by on the Greenway, it's well worth a detour.

A pleasant hike that allows you to rediscover cornflowers and poppies. A pleasant walk through the forest.

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.

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

The Orne valley, upstream from the city of Caen. This circuit invites you to discover both banks of the Orne River north of Thury-Harcourt. Description and route slightly out of date in places, see reviews for alternatives

The legend of coal: for centuries, a stone in the commune of Feuguerolles intrigued many quarry workers. Black in colour, it became incandescent when burned. Thinking they had discovered precious "earth coal", wells were dug in the hope of finding a coal deposit. Unfortunately, the searches proved fruitless and were abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the coal of Feuguerolles is nothing more than a legend.

Hike around Mont-Pinçon, the highest point in the Calvados department, best known for its radio and television transmitter. Along the way, you will see traces of the Roman presence and discover that, in August 1944, it was also the site of a fierce tank battle during the liberation of France.

From Thury-Harcourt to the Chapel of Saint Joseph. On these paths, you will find uphill and downhill undergrowth, theGR®36and the Chapelle Saint-Joseph.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hiking in Suisse Normande. With blue skies, you can discover the beautiful valleys. I recommend a visit to the Bonne Nouvelle Chapel, which is open during the day and offers the opportunity to leave messages.

This walk passes through villages with remarkable architecture and also crosses rural areas along the Vey and Mue rivers.

This hike passes through villages with attractive architecture, but also crosses rural areas along the Ruisseau le Vey and Rivière la Mue streams.
