Caironnaise walk
This hike passes through villages with attractive architecture, but also crosses rural areas along the Ruisseau le Vey and Rivière la Mue streams.
The Thue Valley
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.
Around the Clos Verger
Starting from Fresne-Camilly, walk along the edge and then along the Thue valley, from Cainet to Bout de Haut near Amblie, then return, enjoying the unobstructed view of the countryside in this part of the Caen plain.
Serge Saint route: Thaon - Basly - Colomby - Anisy
This circular route connects four small Norman villages: Thaon, Basly, Colomby-sur-Thaon and Anisy. The main attraction of this circular route is the opportunity to see Serge Saint's sculptures installed in these locations. Some parts of the route across the plain may seem long.
The great outdoors on the outskirts of Caen
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.
From Bretteville-sur-Odon to Fontaine-Étoupefour in the footsteps of the Odons
This beautiful walk near Caen takes us through the countryside to Verson and back along the Odons. The meadows, copses and small paths transport us back to the Middle Ages with the Barony estate, the mills and their ruins. We will also go to the source of the Petit Odon, which is not actually a source! Apart from the section that runs alongside the ring road, this is a peaceful walk in the countryside close to the Caen conurbation.
Circular around Fontaine-Henry
Route around Fontaine-Henry Castle. Halfway between the city of Caen and the D-Day beaches, Fontaine-Henry Castle overlooks the green valley of the Mue. Its vertiginously high roofs tower above the centuries-old trees in the park and crown a richly sculpted façade combining 15th- and 16th-century styles.
The dormant cemeteries of Caen
This walk connects the six dormant cemeteries of Caen, islands of greenery in the city, and takes you through the neighbourhoods surrounding the city centre.

From Fleury to the Orne
Allemagne is the former name of Fleury-sur-Orne before 1917. Below, the Orne river flows lazily at the foot of the hillsides, where numerous limestone quarries have been dug over the centuries.
Around Douvres-la-Délivrande
This pleasant semi-urban walk starts in Douvres-la-Délivrande and takes you to Plumetot and Cresserons. In addition to the peace and charm of the surrounding countryside, you will discover a rich and varied architectural heritage, including the British military cemetery and the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Délivrande.
