Great walk along the seaside.

The Dives marshes correspond to the entire wetland surrounding the Dives river. An association was formed to obtain environmental protection status to ensure harmonious development between human activities and nature. This cycle path crosses the marsh and thus offers the possibility of observing numerous birds such as storks and swans. To your binoculars!

The Saint-Pierre Church of Bréville-les-Monts is a former Catholic church which was unfortunately destroyed during the Battle of Normandy on June 12, 1944, and whose ruins remain in the commune's cemetery. The Germans used the building as an ammunition depot. A new church was built in 1960 next to the old ruins. The original structure had a modern nave and tower, with the chancel dating from the 15th century or earlier.

The path is very smooth: roller skaters and racing bikes appreciate it.
