Description of the walk

In Lengronne, at the roundabout where the D7 and D13 meet, there are several designated car parks where you can park safely.

(S/E) At the roundabout, proceed carefully for about twenty metres towards Saussey and Coutances. If you need to cross the D7 or the D13, use one of the pedestrian crossings. Turn right onto Rue du Fourgon (D610) and continue along this small road for just under a kilometre.

(1) Ignore the path to Les Sourderies on the left; carry on along the road, then take the first road on the left.

(2) Ignore the path on the left and carry on along the small road which, over about 1.5 km, takes you through the hamlets of La Cavée, La Roseraie and La Dioterie.

(3) At the four-way junction, turn left onto the D538 and walk just over 1 km to rejoin the D7 at Lengronne.

(4) Take the D7 on the left – taking care as you do so – and continue straight on to return to your starting point (S/E).

Hello,
I can confirm that the section between points 1 and 2 is private. The owners do not want walkers to use their path.
As mentioned in another review, you should carry on along the road instead of turning off at 1, and take the next road on the left to reach point 2.
Thank you on their behalf, and enjoy your walk!

Please note that on this walk there is a section of private property between points 1 and 2; the owner is unhappy about the situation, so simply carry on along the road and, at the end, turn right to rejoin the route.
A lovely little walk.

A pleasant walk along the narrow country lanes.
A tricky section between (1) and (2) where, following a particularly rainy summer in the region, the woodland path is very muddy. It appears to have received little (if any) maintenance, and further on you have to force your way through the brambles. Finally, before reaching the last stretch of the path, you have to crawl under a barbed wire fence.
Nothing insurmountable, though!
Thank you for this walk.

For a long time, the hydraulic power of watercourses was harnessed, and mills served as landmarks for water-related activities along the rivers. In Ver, on the River Sienne – a coastal river renowned for hosting large migratory fish (Atlantic salmon, sea lamprey and eel) – the weir at the Moulin de Ver was removed in 2010 to facilitate their passage.
