Discover Saint-jacques-de-nehou's local treasures

This easy family walk allows the discovery of the state-owned forest of Saint Sauveur le Vicomte and its preserved nature. You will cross a landscaped arboretum with its different species of trees and then follow a discovery trail. Take advantage of the walk in the forest to indulge in the pleasures of mushroom picking or simply admire the beautiful lights and colours of autumn.

A fifth circuit has been added to the cyclosport area, with this route in the Val de Saire. A little over a hundred kilometers on the clock, starting from the Château de Bricquebec on Benoît Cosnefroy?s training ground. Before reaching the coastline with Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and Quinéville, the view from La Pernelle is well worth the effort: 1km at over 9%. Competitors should note that the record is set at 2min15? The second half of the route is more leisurely, taking you right into the heart of the Espace Historique de la Bataille de Normandie.

From Bricquebec, you can go on long stone or earth "hunts", bordered by hedges or situated on the edge of the woods. This circuit is aimed at a well-informed public and includes some beautiful "climbs" that will take you through the Bois de la Tombette. On the way back, a passage on the edge of the Bois des Roches will give you the opportunity to stop for a while to contemplate the megalithic monuments present on this site. This circuit goes through the Rocheville hill, famous for its prehistoric monuments as well as for its picturesque and legendary sites, formed by five groups of rocks.

Going back to the Viking period, the history of Bricquebec is told through its monuments: Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Abbey and the ruins of the castle are worth a visit before leaving for Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, a tourist town including, among others, a 10th century abbey and a museum dedicated to the writer Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, born in the small town of Saint-Sauveur.

This 15 km course is along the old railway line, lined with trees. The 11th century dungeon, still standing, is stubbornly defying time, as are the rumours of witchcraft that are said to still exist today. After considerable destruction during the war, the city was carefully restored.

This family loop starting from the medieval castle of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, will lead you to a landscape with many faces: the moor of Rauville-la-Place, so often evoked in the work of the writer Jules Amédée Barbey d'Aurévilly.

The GRP® Tour de la presqu?île du Cotentin mostly follows the GR®223 along the coast. It differs in the southern part, crossing the marshes to complete the Tour du Cotentin in 15 days. On this stage, the route continues through bocage and marshland to Picauville. In 1944, the commune was the westernmost objective of the American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne, who built an airfield there to provide air support for operations in the Cotentin region. Faced with solid resistance from the German 91st Infantry Division, the Americans pounded the town until June 13. By the time the German forces evacuated, three-quarters of the commune had been destroyed.

The town of Bricquebec stands out for its imposing medieval castle, once the seat of one of the most powerful baronies in the Cotentin region. A market town, with markets, fairs and mills, has been attested to since the 12th century, and developed within the narrow confines of the castle, dominated by a high polygonal keep. The settlement was initially divided into several distinct areas, with the castral village itself nestling at the foot of the castle, the village quarter concentrated around the Notre-Dame parish church (now in ruins), and the hamlets of Le Foyer and L'Etang-Bertrand, where other characteristic facilities (sickbay, chapels, fisheries, tanneries, etc.) were also found. This dense medieval heritage is still clearly visible in today's town. The town hall, rebuilt on the former covered market, stands in the shadow of the Tour de l'Horloge, next to the building that once housed the seigniorial prisons. From here, the settlement stretches unhindered towards the River Scye and beyond, to the edge of the wooded areas that close off the horizon. To the east of the château, the large Place Sainte-Anne, where weekly markets are held, is part of the former seigniorial park. In the 18th century, it was extended by a mall known as the "Promenade des Matignon", named after the last lords of the area. The heart of the town is home to a large number of old mansions, many of which can be spotted by the pepperpots of the stair towers rising from their roofs at the rear. Bricquebec was one of the few towns in the Cotentin region to be spared the bombardments of the Liberation in June 1944, and has retained all the charm of a traditional Norman market town.
