At this point, the hiking trail takes us seven or eight thousand years back into the history of the European continent and its settlement. Using only the power of their hands - and tools that seem primitive (from our perspective today) - the people of that era built astonishing structures. Such as this ring wall - partly made of bricks, partly made of stone - that protected the "Camp Celtique de Bierre".

Mesnil-Glaise is a small village typical of Norman Switzerland. There we discover an imposing castle, dating from the 19th century, which overlooks the Orne river. A small bucolic path allows you to stroll following the meanders of the river.

For a unique and historic destination, you can stop at this M16 Half-Track in Tournai-Sur-Dive. This is a rare example of an American WWII anti-aircraft vehicle that was abandoned by Allied forces after the liberation of France. It was to be equipped with four 0.5-inch machine guns mounted on a quadruple mount at the rear. You can imagine the noise he made shooting at enemy planes.

The Château des Ducs is a 14th century castle that was once the residence of Pierre II de Valois, a descendant of Saint Louis. The castle is today the seat of the court of justice, but you can still admire its architecture and its chapel, which houses a magnificent altarpiece from the 18th century.

The Château de Cuy in Occagnes is a 17th century castle with classic architecture. Its elegant facades, roofs and entrance doors are classified as historic monuments. You can admire the castle from the outside, but the interior is not open to the public as it is private property.

At this point, the hiking trail leads back seven or eight millennia into the history of the European continent and its settlement. The people of that era were able to build amazing buildings using only the work of their hands - and with (from today's perspective) seemingly primitive tools. So this ring wall - partly brick, partly made of stones - that protectively surrounded the "Camp Celtique de Bierre".

Centrally located, right next to the Office de Tourisme.
