Along the way, you can discover various hydraulic structures on the Risle River. The hike ends with a long walk through the Montfort State Forest, which has been awarded the "Remarkable Tree" label for 11 of its trees.

This route takes you along the Risle river before it flows into the Seine estuary at Berville-sur-Mer and through part of the Pays d'Ouche countryside.

Shortened version of the marked route starting from Ajou, retaining the interesting views of this high valley of the Risle, its mills, including the very pretty Rouge Moulin, the charming village of Champignolles and forest passages that are enjoyable in summer. On the other hand, the 4 km to Ajou are of little interest, hence the suggestion to start from the church of Saint Aubin. Yellow markings
