Description

Through the variety of landscapes, the majesty of the panoramas over the Seine estuary, and the great richness of the heritage, it is a flagship circuit close to Honfleur which offers plenty of surprises like this large pond on a high point, these hollow paths and these holy healers. The heritage is quite impressive: an old lighthouse, a mysterious cross, two churches, two castles, a very typical washhouse, without forgetting the calvaries and thatched cottages.

Getting to the starting pointto report a problem

Step 1

With your back to the church, go right towards the housing estate. At the end of the dead end, take the path which goes around the cemetery.

Step 2

At the exit of the woods, follow the GR 223 on the right. Go up to the crossroads and cross it to take the small road to the right of the Calvary towards the old lighthouse.

Step 3

After the lighthouse, take the sunken path straight ahead which passes near a pretty pond. Back on the road, continue straight along the Grestain woods. Stay on the well-groomed path, bearing right towards the exit from the woods.

Step 4

At the crossroads, go down left towards Carbec, then turn left onto Chemin de l'Epinette which offers wide views of the estuary. At the bottom, turn right onto the small road which runs alongside the magnificent park of Château de la Pommerayre.

Step 5

Go up to the right in front of the castle towards the wash house and the Carbec chapel. After this refreshing break, continue the ascent via the small road on the left after the wash house. And enjoy the panoramas of the estuary by turning around once you arrive at the path.

Step 6

At the top, turn left along a small road and continue straight on at the crossroads, then take the path to the right which crosses the plain through fields.

Step 7

At the Inglemare pond, turn right twice towards the village of Fatouville. At the sight of the first houses, turn right.

Step 8

At the Virgin of the Missions (polychrome statue), turn left then immediately right at the fork. 200 meters of sunken path further, turn left twice to return to the village square.
