This is a very pleasant walk through charming little villages where you can admire magnificent thatched cottages and other typical Norman houses, or pass through the village of Fontaine-sous-Préaux where the Robec river has its source.

Be careful on the few fairly steep climbs and descents and on some paths that can be very muddy in wet weather (this is Normandy, after all!).
