Description of the walk

The starting point is located in the car park opposite the church.

(S/E) Leaving the car park, turn left and take Avenue d'Harcourt, which goes around the village. Cross the Doigt stream and continue along the road on the left. Pass the Tourist Office and at the next crossroads, turn left again to enter the village. Cross the Doigt stream again.

(1) Turn left towards the village square and its old market hall (Rue Michel d'Ornano). You can go around the market hall on the left. You can also extend your walk by going back and forth through the village's cul-de-sacs.

(2) Take the first road on the right after the church (be careful, it is quite busy).
Ignore the various cul-de-sacs and property entrances and continue on the main road, the D146. At the first crossroads, continue on the left (still on the D146). Walk alongside the Haras du Manoir de Sens stud farm.

(3) Once past these facilities, take the first small road on the left, a cul-de-sac called "Chemin de la Chapelle". The tarmac road turns into a path after the last houses and climbs towards the Chapelle de Clermont. Once you have passed the chapel and its cemetery, the path becomes a wide track again until it reaches the road.

(4) Turn left onto the road and follow it to the first path on the left (picnic area).

(5) Take this path down towards the village, which turns into a small tarmac road and runs alongside the Haras du Mont Goubert stud farm and the Manoir de Sens once again.

(6) At the D49, turn left to reach the village entrance and the starting point (S/E).

Nice walk. The climb up to the chapel is quite strenuous.

Very pleasant hike. Almost entirely in the woods. The climb up to the chapel is quite challenging but well worth the effort once you reach the top

A pleasant route with a stop in Beuvron. It's a shame to have to take the D146, which is not safe. Be careful at stage 4, which is confusing. Leave the picnic area on your right, continue straight ahead and take the first path on the left.

A very beautiful walk, magnificent and peaceful countryside, charming paths through the woods, a short, easy and relaxing route. And the village of Beuvron-en-Auge is simply splendid!

A very pleasant route through beautiful countryside. Short but varied, with a small but significant elevation gain.

I was looking for a short hike to do without having to drive all the way to what is for me a weekend destination, and this was perfect! The description made me fear a very industrial environment, but that wasn't the case. The walk is pleasant and you're either in the countryside or in quiet residential areas. Thank you for the itinerary!

Please note:
one-third of the route is on a road with no hard shoulder at the start.
There is a bench next to the chapel
However, when we passed by, there were large rubbish bins near the picnic tables (located a little further away).

Short hike on 3 January. It was raining when we arrived at the chapel, which was a shame as we couldn't see the view of the valley. The village of Beuvron is worth a visit.

A superb walk that allows you to discover Beuvron and the surrounding area. The view from the chapel and the chapel itself are the reward for the climb.

A pleasant walk that starts in the beautiful village of Beuvron en Auge, which is very popular, meaning parking can be a problem during the high tourist season. Be aware that at the start of the route, the road is quite busy, but once you reach the footpath, it's very pleasant.
There is a magnificent view from the chapel.

A very pleasant autumn walk with beautiful views of the Pays d'Auge valley from the Chapelle de Clermont. We enjoyed the beauty of the two stud farms. The village of Beuvron-en-Auge with its renovated square is very welcoming.
