The walk starts at the car park of Montmartin-en-Graignes Town Hall.
(S) We head towards Rue de l’Abbé Bihel and stock up on a few walking essentials at the grocery shop.
We then take the Chemin du Roi (named in memory of Louis XVI’s visit to the village) until we reach the newly cut path. We carry on straight ahead until we reach the crossroads at Clos du Mont.
(1) We turn left and head towards the hamlet known as “La Raye”.
(2) We turn right onto the departmental road leading towards Neuilly-la-Forêt, until we reach the D974 road leading from Saint-Jean-de-Daye to Carentan.
(3) We follow the verge on the left and reach, on the left, the road leading to the hamlet of Rouge Fossé (there’s a sign advertising honey for sale at the crossroads).
(4) At the hamlet, we turn right and reach the banks of the Vire and Taute Canal, which we follow to the left until we come to a bridge crossing the canal.
(5) At this point, we turn left and continue to the Château de la Rivière, a nesting site for many storks (E).
