The belt green

As you move away from the historic center, the green belt offers several magnificent panoramas of Villedieu-les-Poêles. At the end of the route, you’ll discover the magnificent Saint-Pierre-du-Tronchet church, with architectural features dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries.

Our walk starts at Mont-Robin, one of the highest points in La Manche at 276m. On a clear day, you can see the surrounding countryside for up to 30km. This evenly-distributed hike offers panoramic views of the Normandy bocage. Visit
Mesnil-Céron, don’t miss the majestic entrance to the manor house. And why not round off your walk with a picnic at the top of Mont-Robin?
