GR®223 - Saint-Martin-de-Bréhal - Bouillon
5.7 km

GR®223 - Saint-Martin-de-Bréhal - Bouillon

This 22 km stage has lots of different landscapes and atmospheres along the route. Starting in Saint-Martin de Bréhal, follow the promenade overlooking the blue flag beach to Coudeville-sur-Mer, then walk along the dunes to Donville-les-Bains. At low tide, the beaches here are dotted with stakes, known as “bouchots”, on which mussels are farmed (please don’t take any). You have a view of the Chausey Islands in the distance. Head up the path towards Granville, via the Villa des Rhumbs with its breathtaking sea views. Take the opportunity to visit the Christian Dior Museum, with its themed exhibitions and gardens. Next, take the steps down the cliff to arrive at the Plat Gousset promenade and its beach which is very popular with locals. Visit this seaside resort known as the Monaco of the North, with its lovely restaurants and shops. Next to the casino, take the steps up to the Haute Ville, the old walled town. The path takes you round the Pointe du Roc to Cap Lihou, before going back down to the fishing harbour, commercial port and marina. This is where the ferries leave for the Chausey Islands. The path continues on the other side of Granville. Head down towards Saint-Nicolas beach and walk by the sea (in case of very high tides, take the D911 instead.) Before the stream that flows across the beach, turn left onto Rue des Mielles then into Saint-Pair-sur-Mer. You’ll head away from the sea and uphill towards Kairon and finally Bouillon, the destination of this stage.

GRP 4 Les belvèdères du Mont-Saint-Michel - de Carolles à Avranches
11 km

GRP 4 Les belvèdères du Mont-Saint-Michel - de Carolles à Avranches

Presentation: Walk the second section by taking part of the GR223 and the GR22. This section leads you to Avranches. Remarkable points on the stroll 11- La falaise de Carolles : Placed between 2 Vauban huts, it offers incomparable panoramas and evokes many stories: legions of Caesar and soldiers of Hitler, Vikings and Chouans, St Scubilion and Vauban, Gargantua and Satan, gold diggers and builders of dykes, naval fights and shipwrecks, silence of the leprous monks of St-Clement and mischievousness of the fetishes of the caves... 12- The church of Saint Jean le Thomas : Be careful at the crossroads, the church of Saint-Jean-le-Thomas is on the left on the D24. Of Romanesque origin from the 12th, 14th and 16th centuries (IMH): traces of fern leaf apparatus, Gothic portal and bell tower; high altar and statues from the 18th century. Commune of Dragey-Ronthon. 13- The church of Saint-Medard Dragey: Built from the twelfth century, it has a stained glass window recalling the drowning of the son of the then owner of the manor Brion, Mr. Isselin with one of his friends. Its Saint-Médard tower was used as a landmark for fishermen, pilgrims or sailors who were in the bay. 14- Les chemins de la Baie et Découverte du Bec Andaine : This sandy point bordered by dunes is the starting point for pedestrian crossings of the bay towards Mont-Saint-Michel, guided mainly by two organisations: Les Chemins de la Baie and Découverte. The crossings take 1h30 and the same for the return. 15- The church of Notre-Dame and Sébastien de Genêts: The church of Notre-Dame and Sébastien, as well as its cemetery, are listed. The bells were also used to guide people lost in the bay in foggy weather. On the benches of the charming south porch, the affairs of the parish were once dealt with. 16- Islet of Tombelaine rock: Look out to sea on the right, you will see the wild islet of Tombelaine rock, which is home to many birds: little egrets, gulls etc. ... You are now on the GR223, which goes around the Cotentin, the coastal path. 17- Pointe du Mont Manet des Près Salés : The point of Mont Manet offers a panorama on the "Grand Port" and the "herbus" or "salt meadows" sheltering cows and sheep that feed on the vegetation loaded with iodine and salt. The flesh of these lambs is particularly appreciated by gourmets. 18- The Romanesque priory of Saint-Leonard: The Romanesque priory of Saint-Leonard dominates the town of Vains. It is made of schist and granite, noble material of the Avranchin for religious buildings. The territory was given by William the Conqueror to an abbey in Caen who founded this priory, around which the town was built. 19- The points of Grouin du Sud and Roche Torin: The points of Grouin du Sud and Roche Torin form ideal elevations to observe the rising tide. During the equinox tides, they are invaded by a crowd that comes to witness the impressive spectacle of the 'flood' invading the shore at the "speed of a galloping horse" and the amazing formation of the tidal bore. 20- The tithing barns of Saint Léonard : Look at the two 17th century tithing barns : one at the entrance of the village of Saint-Léonard, the other near the church of Vains has been restored. The Manor of Vains has an interesting architecture: the North side (XVIth century) was a fortified and defensive farm, the South side (from the XVIIIth century) became a gentleman's residence, when peace returned. 21- The Avranches Scriptorial Museum: The Scriptorial is the Mont-Saint-Michel manuscript museum which presents more than 200 medieval volumes and allows the discovery of the different phases of manuscript production, calligraphy and illumination. It deals with the content of ancient texts, then evokes the evolution towards printing. Its medieval architecture is interesting.
