The circuit goes through a region with a tormented relief to go towards the valley of the Sélune from Le Teilleul. This circuit takes the old road from Rennes to Domfront, a route used by pilgrims in the Middle Ages to reach the Mont Saint-Michel. A little further on is the ascent of the Montécot mound. This coppice, essentially made up of chestnut tree saplings, was of economic use in the past. Thus, the peasants came to get wood for the strapping of their barrels. The circuit then follows for about 6 km, the old railway line linking Mortain, Barenton and Domfront to then take small roads and sunken paths.

The route will lead you to the discovery of the Ardennes woods, while following the Sélune, a 1st category river rich in wild salmon.

Stage common to the Vélomaritime, the Véloscénie and the Vélo WestNormandy. From Ducey, you will follow the mouth of the Sée and Sélune rivers to Pontaubault, where you will leave the greenway. You will then take small departmental roads with little traffic offering unique views of the Bay and the Mont Saint-Michel which have been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979. Its diversified landscapes (foreshore, grasslands...) will make you travel in different universes.
