Hiking
The hillside path in Cormeilles (30 min)
Departure from Cormeilles This 20 km hike is not for beginners. Allow a full day to complete it and bring your smartphone to guide you and provide information on local biodiversity. The route joins other trails, so you will see different markings. Pay attention!
Consider taking a break to refuel. You will find a picnic table in Saint-Pierre-de-Cormeilles, near the Frédet wash house. Our advice: have a good breakfast but don't rush, set off mid-morning. After 6 km, you will arrive at the Frédet wash house, a natural spring. There is a picnic table there where you can eat before continuing on for another 14 km, finishing in the middle of the afternoon to enjoy a refreshing drink in Cormeilles!
Cormeilles is a small village on the edge of Calvados, a jewel in the west of the Eure department with its church built on an 11% slope, unique in France, its internationally renowned Busnel distillery, its many shops and restaurants, and its events. It is a visit not to be missed.
