26. Three Steeples Trail – Starting point: Village Square of Flancourt-Catelon or Community Hall Car Park in Illeville-sur-Montfort

This route brings together three villages, three church steeples and a remarkably diverse architectural heritage. In Illeville-sur-Montfort, the Saint-Médard Church, dating largely from the 16th century, features an elegant stone porch blending Gothic and Renaissance styles, crowned with finely sculpted gargoyles. Nearby stands a discreet yet remarkable 18th-century octagonal half-timbered dovecote, a gem of rural architecture located on private property. In Catelon, the Saint-Lubin Church combines Romanesque elements from the 11th century with later 18th-century alterations. Its Romanesque portal opens onto a churchyard shaded by cypress trees and a magnificent yew. The Manor of Candos and the Manor of Landry further enrich the local heritage. The former showcases traditional 18th-century half-timbering, while the latter combines brick, stone and timber framing and includes a round medieval stone tower dating from the 11th to the 16th century. In Flancourt-Catelon, the Saint-Ouen Church surprises visitors with a dormer window near the bell tower, an unusual feature for a religious building. Its old cemetery is enclosed by a traditional earthen wall. At the entrance to the village, a statue of the Virgin and Child quietly commemorates the Liberation. The Montfort State Forest provides a short but beautiful section of tall mature woodland, offering a striking contrast to the open countryside and bocage landscapes that dominate most of this route. A walk through churches, manor houses and living memories, where every village tells a different chapter of Norman history.

28. Hyacinth Trail – Starting point: Community Hall of Illeville-sur-Montfort

This route invites walkers to explore a landscape where deep forest, medieval heritage and a thousand years of history come together. It takes place in Illeville-sur-Montfort, one of the oldest settlements in the region. The village name dates back to the Norman period, long before the conquest of England. Originally known as the estate (villa) of Wila (William) or Withlac, it became Willerville in the 16th century before evolving into Illeville. The same Viking-derived name can still be found in many English place names such as Illingham and Wilton. Archaeological remains and ancient fragments found in the area reveal an even older occupation dating back to the Gallo-Roman period, when this land was gradually reclaimed from the Montfort Forest. The architectural highlight of the route is Saint-Médard Church, built mainly during the 13th century. Its low square tower, nave, choir, transept and original vaults are complemented by a remarkable 16th-century porch blending Gothic and Renaissance influences, whose elegance never fails to impress visitors. The wooded grounds of the Château du Courant offer a few botanical surprises, including blue cedars and giant sequoias. Meanwhile, the Montfort State Forest unfolds across four long undulating sections of the route, with varied woodlands forming the backbone of this walk. A journey through Viking memories, medieval stonework and the timeless beauty of the Norman forest.

36. Malhortie Trail – Starting point: Touville-sur-Montfort Town Hall

This route offers a generous introduction to the Norman countryside, combining unexpected heritage, contrasting landscapes and intriguing architectural features. In Touville-sur-Montfort, the built heritage is remarkably diverse. Opposite the church stands a Renaissance half-timbered manor house with an elegant and imposing silhouette, while near the end of the route a Belle Époque villa evokes the refined atmosphere of Deauville. Two distinct eras and two very different worlds, separated by only a few hundred metres. The church itself is well worth a visit: its Romanesque nave dates from the 13th century and was enhanced in the 16th century with beautiful Flamboyant Gothic twin windows and an elegant half-timbered porch. Manor houses and traditional thatched cottages further enrich this varied architectural landscape. The scenery changes constantly throughout the walk. Forest covers around a quarter of the route across two long sloping sections, before giving way to sunken bocage lanes, open farmland and inhabited hamlets. The trail also features two unexpected engineering structures. One bridge crosses a normally dry stream that can become a rushing torrent during heavy storms, while the other spans a railway line on an attractive stone-and-brick viaduct. These discreet yet elegant structures add an extra touch of interest to a walk full of surprises. A Norman hike where architecture, nature and hidden curiosities combine to create a memorable experience.

34. Lovers’ Trail – Starting point: Town Hall Car Park, Écaquelon

Alternating between woodland, bocage countryside and open plateaus, this varied walk offers a rich combination of landscapes and heritage. Along the way, hikers can admire three castles and manor houses from a distance, as well as traditional half-timbered buildings and a historic cart shed. The route unfolds through a beautifully preserved Norman setting where every turn reveals something new. Forests accompany nearly a third of the trail across two long sloping sections, including two magnificent beech groves located on the edge of the state forest and near the village. The bocage landscape then takes over, with sunken lanes lined by pollarded trees, before the rolling plateau opens onto wider views and more expansive horizons. Three historic residences can be seen from the path. The Château du Bois Héroult, an elegant 18th-century residence, stands alongside the Manor of La Hennière and the Manor of La Ferté, which belonged in the 19th century to the writer Henri Lavedan. Each reflects a different period of local history, though all remain private properties. The Church of Saint James (Saint-Jacques), built on a medieval motte, is a rare architectural curiosity well worth a stop. Traditional Norman heritage is also represented by a fine cart shed and several thatched cottages, discreet reminders of a rural building tradition that combines practicality and elegance. Between forests, manor houses and bocage landscapes, this route perfectly captures the authentic spirit of Normandy.

35. Dours and Valleys Trail – Starting point: Town Hall Car Park, Écaquelon

This route takes its name from a natural phenomenon typical of Normandy: the dour. This seasonal stream remains dry throughout the summer before suddenly becoming a rushing torrent during periods of heavy rainfall, much like a Norman wadi. Its unpredictable presence gives the surrounding valleys a constantly changing character throughout the year. The landscapes along the trail are remarkably diverse. The hilly sections are dominated by bocage scenery, with sunken lanes bordered by hedgerows and tree-lined embankments. Woodland then takes over, offering pleasant shaded stretches, including a particularly magnificent beech forest near the village. Further on, the landscape opens onto gently rolling farmland, always framed by wooded horizons in the distance. The built heritage is equally impressive. No fewer than four churches can be discovered along the route, in Saint-Léger-du-Genetey, Bosc-Regnoult-en-Roumois and Écaquelon, including the remarkable Saint-Jacques Church, built on a medieval motte and considered a rare architectural curiosity. The Manor of La Hennière and several traditional half-timbered buildings further enrich the walk. At Les Épinays, a beautiful cart shed stands beside a square dovecote, forming a charming and authentic rural ensemble. With its four churches, majestic beech woodland and seasonal Norman streams, this route offers a rich and deeply local experience.

The Petit Trianon
108 km

The Petit Trianon

The Petit Trianon was built between 1763 and 1768 by the architect Gabriel, requested by Madame de Pompadour, mistress then friend of king Louis XV. Madame de Pompadour, who wished to “relieve the king’s boredom” — though no longer his mistress, she remained his friend — was the instigator of this small château, built by architect Gabriel between 1763 and 1768. It was erected near the Botanical Garden and the new menagerie, as Louis XV had a keen interest in the sciences. To please the marquise, always at the forefront of fashion, the king’s architect broke away from the rococo aesthetic and adopted a cubic form with very pure lines, in keeping with the brand-new “Greek style” then in vogue. Its simplicity is only apparent, for each façade is different, designed in relation to the space it overlooks: the courtyard, the French Garden with its elegant pavilion, the Botanical Garden, and the Florist’s Garden. Inside, one finds the same modernity of style. Simpler than the rest of the estate, the decoration of the Petit Trianon lies not in lavish materials — gilding is almost absent — but in the refinement of its sculptures, in a château entirely dedicated to nature. Madame de Pompadour died in 1764 and never saw the château completed. Today, it is above all the memory of Marie-Antoinette that it evokes. In 1774, Louis XVI gave the Trianon estate to his wife, who was able to live here a life apart — too much so for some — from the Court.

Palace of Versailles

Since 1979, the Palace of Versailles has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stands as one of the finest masterpieces of 17th-century French art. The Palace and the Trianon Estate are open every day, except Mondays. The Palace opens at 9 a.m., while the Trianon Estate opens only from 12 p.m. The Park and Gardens are open daily with free admission (access to the Gardens is ticketed on the days of the Musical Fountains Shows and Night Fountains Shows, as well as during the Musical Gardens). You can only access the Park via: the Queen’s Gate (Grille de la Reine, entrance for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles every day), the Saint-Antoine Gate (Porte Saint-Antoine, pedestrians and cyclists every day, vehicles only on weekends and public holidays), the Matelots Gate (Grille des Matelots, pedestrians and cyclists every day), from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., with last entry at 6:15 p.m. in high season, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in low season. By exploring the Hall of Mirrors, the King’s State Apartments, and the Museum of the History of France, you step into a palace that, until 1789, was the heart of royal power and continued to evolve over the centuries. Originally, Versailles was nothing more than a hunting lodge built by Louis XIII. But it was here that Louis XIV chose to construct the majestic palace we know today, a symbol of absolute monarchy and French classical art. In the 1670s, Louis XIV commissioned the construction of the King’s and Queen’s State Apartments. The most emblematic creation of these ceremonial spaces is undoubtedly the Hall of Mirrors, designed by Mansart. During the following century, the palace kept expanding, with major works such as the Royal Chapel and the Opera. Today, the Palace covers 63,154 m², spread across 2,300 rooms. Although the Palace lost its role as the seat of power in 1789, in the 19th century it was given a new purpose: to become the Museum of the History of France, an idea launched by Louis-Philippe, who ascended the throne in 1830. Many rooms of the palace were then transformed to house collections recounting the great moments of French history, enriched until the early 20th century.

Manoir de l'Aumônerie

Discover this historic site through : - Saint-Gorgon Chapel - The wells - The kennel - The Longère - The Pressoir - Le Fournil - The Charretterie - The medieval garden The construction of the Manoir de l'Aumônerie takes us back over 800 years. Did the Templars really build the Manoir de l'Aumônerie? That's the question we're currently trying to answer by delving into every possible document and archive. Research in progress? to be continued! In fact, the Knights Templar built the Manor around 1214. Having become very wealthy, they built estates to protect the roads and to welcome travelers, Crusaders and pilgrims. The dissolution of the Order at the Council of Vienna and the death of Grand Master Jacques de Molay, burned at the stake in 1314, led to the demise of the Order of the Temple. All Templar assets were then devolved. In the 15th century, the farm and clearing came under the control of Saint-Georges Abbey, in Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville. This Benedictine abbey was founded in 1112 with the support of the powerful de Tancarville family. The Benedictine monks turned it into the Abbey?s Chaplaincy. They installed farmers in the manor, while also receiving guests of the monks. The 16th century saw the construction of Le Pressoir, La Longère, Le Chenil and Le Four à Pain, as well as a chapel dedicated to Saint-Gorgon, a Roman martyr. During the French Revolution, the property was confiscated from the monks and bought by private individuals. In the 19th century, the creamery and barn were built. The estate changed hands several times over the course of the twentieth century, and in the 1960s the land was gradually sold off as building plots. In 1970, Michel and Josette Ratier bought the property from the descendants of the last farmers and had it listed as a Monument Historique. In 2018, Erwan and Sophie-Isabelle de Saint-Seine took over the restoration of the Manoir de l'Aumônerie.
