Discover CAMPING DU GRAND LARGE at Anneville-sur-mer

The observatories, installed at the edge of this exceptional space, allow you to see the migratory birds stopping over in the harbor. The site is forbidden to dogs.

Go through the wooded moors and the bocage to discover an old mill and the fortified castle of Pirou.

This 19 km stage takes you to discover the treasures of the west coast, including a château, beach huts, the Côte des Havres and a family-friendly seaside resort. Starting in the village of Pirou, head towards Pirou-Pont to reach the château. Enjoy a stop at this medieval site, which is one of the best preserved in Normandy. The Château de Pirou is steeped in Viking legends and magical myths! Carry on towards Pirou-Plage and walk along the seafront. Further on, you’ll head through the dunes for a stretch, before reaching Geffosses inlet, a picturesque estuary that’s a haven for birds. After the inlet, there are more dunes to cross to get to the slipway in Anneville-sur-Mer. Then carry on along the marked path through the dunes, past campsites and little houses: Gouville-sur-Mer is not far now! You’ll reach the beach car park in Gouville-sur-Mer. This section of the GR223 takes you past the beach huts with multicoloured roofs: an unmissable site! These huts date back to the First World War. Destroyed by the Germans, they were rebuilt and are now passed down from generation to generation. Leaving these little huts behind you, carry on walking through the dunes, past the guardhouse in Gouville-sur-Mer before reaching Blainville-sur-Mer inlet. Blainville inlet, known for oyster farming, lies along the GR223 and changes with the tides. Take the footpath to the holiday village, then turn right along the fence of the oyster farming zone. Next, walk along the D651. Note: the sea covers this area during the spring tides (coefficients of more than 100). Go round the campsite then walk along the D651 again, to the roundabout at the entrance to Blainville-sur-Mer. You’re on the last stretch of this stage! Leave Blainville-sur-Mer on the left and take the D2444. Here, cross the bridge to get to the slipway. If you are a bit peckish, there are some nice eateries here: oysters from Chez Le Père Gus or moules frites at the restaurant La Cale. Next, cross the dunes behind the restaurant towards La Poulette, the famous beach hut that’s been standing since 1926. It marks the entrance to the seaside resort of Agon-Coutainville. Now simply walk along the seafront to Coutainville.

This walk will take you to discover the harbor of Saint-Germain-sur-Ay and the dunes of Créances, renowned for their foreshore, their salt meadows and their "mielles", market gardens nestled in the sand.

Are you ready for a 23 km stage around Regnéville inlet with its unspoilt landscapes and wide-open spaces? From the centre of the seaside resort of Agon-Coutainville, head along the seafront towards the dunes. Walk on the beach past Le Passous sailing school. After the wooden chalet, cross a grove of trees to join the coastal path, taking Chemin de la Buttière. From there, head towards the wild Pointe d’Agon-Coutainville. Then follow the GR223 through the dunes and walk through a pretty grove of pine trees. Before you, you’ll see the Lechanteur monument and the famous Agon lighthouse with its red lantern. Carry on in that direction towards the orientation table and enjoy the view of the dunes and the sea stretching as far as the eye can see on your right, and on your left, Regnéville inlet with its little boats. From Agon lighthouse, cross the road towards the salt meadows on the edge of Regnéville inlet. You’ll walk along the estuary for 2.5 km, accompanied by free-roaming sheep. Make sure you shut any gates along the path. Then leave the inlet on the left and follow the road to the edge of Tourville marsh, and on to the little bridge. Carry on towards the church in Heugueville-sur-Sienne following the coastal path close to the D650. Leave the little village on your left and continue to follow the inlet for 800 m. Here, you’ll cross the saltmarshes again, climbing over stiles, before arriving at the Pont de la Roque. Enjoy a break at the bridge, where you’ll find picnic tables, before heading off again for the last part of this stage. Take the grassy path next to the fields towards the saltmarshes. Once again, sheep will be your travelling companions! Now walk along the other side of the inlet towards the village of Regnéville-sur-Mer. Go through the gate on your left and carry on for 50 m before turning right and taking the D249 towards Le Prey. Note: at high tide, it’s better to go inland following the D156 then the D249. You’re on the last stretch! Take the path that leads through the inlet, go through the little gate and walk across the salt meadows. From here, there’s a wonderful view of the Pointe d’Agon and the Sienne estuary. You can admire some of the path you’ve walked since the start of this stage opposite you. Leave the salt meadows and take the D156 towards the slipway. Carry on to the municipal campsite in Regnéville, with its panoramic view. Finally, you’ll arrive at the Château de Regnéville-sur-Mer. Enjoy a stroll around this old fishing village with its picturesque charm.

Make the most of your visit to Coutances to visit the Notre-Dame cathedral or the Saint-Pierre church, jewels of the religious heritage of the Channel, as well as the plant garden or the museums. You will then walk along small sunken lanes or along little-used roads to reach the town of Hauteville-sur-Mer.

Change of landscape then because you will cross the moors of Lessay, then a forest.
