Randonnée à pied la Vallée du Noireau - Suisse-Normande

At the corner with the grocery, take the path towards Caligny. It leads to a road. Cross the Doinus stream and head towards the Carrefour de La Vallerie junction.

Take the left-hand path. At the end, turn left, then right, crossing the Doinus, a millstream, and then the Noireau before reaching a crossing. Follow the path to the left. At La Tournerie, turn sharply to the left to reach the hamlet of Noirée.

Ignore the path to the right, follow the D18 to the left for a few metres, then turn right towards Vieux-Saint-Pierre (there used to be a flour mill, a fine lingerie factory and a drumhead tannery in this valley). Pass La Roche then Les Vaux before getting to Le Vieux-Saint-Pierre.

Turn left, cross the bridge which spans the Noireau, fork left and walk halfway up the hill to a fork. Continue to walk uphill until you reach a junction. > Head straight on to reach the Belvédère Nord.

Turn right and walk up to the summit of Mont de Cerisy then continue to a junction.

Pass by the path on your right and, at the refreshment bar, turn left and walk up close to the château ruins. Then walk down the gentle slope to the northwest (following the signs).

At the T-junction, take the right-hand path down the hill, then turn left onto the toll road to return to your starting point.
