Natural sites well worth a visit

La Manche, a land of contrasts and unspoilt beauty, is brimming with natural treasures that invite wonder and contemplation. Among these gems, three sites stand out for their enchanting character and biodiversity: Mont Robin at Percy-en-Normandie, the Airou valley at Pont du Guibel and Glanon at Saint-Pois. These destinations offer an immersion in unspoilt landscapes, ideal for escape and discovery.

Mount Robin in Percy Havre de Sérénité

Located in Percy, Mont Robin stands like a silent guardian, offering a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding bocage. This wooded hill is a haven of peace, where time seems to stand still. Paths wind through the dense vegetation, inviting walkers to take a rejuvenating stroll in the heart of nature.

At the summit of Mont Robin, the panoramic view stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a grandiose spectacle of green valleys and surrounding meadows. It’s also an ideal spot for a summer picnic at dusk, when the sun sets and pink and orange hues light up the horizon, creating a magical atmosphere.

Hiking enthusiasts will also find much to enjoy in the Airou valley, with numerous signposted trails criss-crossing the surrounding hills.
