Sept-Meules-Mesnil Réaume Melleville

A short countryside walk, starting from Sept-Meules on the banks of the Yères. We walk along the edge of the Forest of Eu and pass through Le Mesnil Réaume. Place Motte is the perfect spot for a short break, and we return to Sept-Meules with a view over the Yères valley.

A lovely route, though it is quite strenuous up to Mesnil-Réaume; in Mesnil-Réaume itself, there is a well-maintained and interesting path featuring information boards on insects and plants.
At Sept-Meules, there is a lovely pond with an information board.
