Saint-Pair-sur-Mer walks

This short walk will take you around Saint Pair sur Mer, alternating between different types of paths/small roads and landscapes, including bocage, town and shopping areas, allowing you to discover the surrounding area.

Discovery of the Upper Town of Granville and the childhood home of the fashion designer Christian Dior, transformed into a museum, starting from the Donville-les-Bains beach.

A short hike along the sea in a protected environment and with beautiful views of the bay of Mont Saint Michel.

Just 3 km from the coast, this route takes us through the Normandy countryside, mainly along paths and trails.

The Vanlée is a short 16 km river in Normandy which, before flowing into the English Channel, irrigates a 10-hectare marsh, the Havre de la Vanlée, classified as a natural heritage site since 1988. Covered with salt meadows, grasslands and salt marshes, it is crossed by a submersible road that is covered during high tides. Some 150 species of birds have been recorded there. There are also sheep and rabbits!

After a short walk along the sea, discover the Normandy countryside, dunes and marshes as you turn off onto small country roads. Along the way, you will encounter a few reminders of the past, as well as curious donkeys, sheep and even a small stream hidden in the greenery...

Along the way, you will enjoy views of Mont Saint-Michel, the Vauban huts and the Lude Valley, passing through the valley of the painters, before heading back up into the countryside, passing through the marshes and the village of Kairon to arrive in the Beausoleil district of Saint-Pair.

Walk from Saint-Jean-le-Thomas to Cabane Vauban, along the coastal path and then back inland.
