The estate, nestled between the bocage countryside and the Suisse Normande region, has belonged to the Calvados department since 1896. The château, gamekeeper's and gardener's lodges, dovecote, farmhouse, woods, and lands all bear witness to its noble past. A museum also allows visitors to discover the furniture, as well as family heirlooms and decorative objects that bring the Pontécoulant family history to life.

very nice

a passage between two rock walls just after the Orne

Very good quality Voie Verte. Impeccable surface, good signing, very few annoying crossings where you lose momentum. Plenty of places to stop if you wish.

Amazing clock tower. According to the info sign the 'twin towers' are from the 12th C and the Belfry was added at the end of the 15th C. So a very historic spot. The small square in front of the tower is peaceful and hassle-free Use one of the many clean public benches as a base to enjoy your picnic. Afterwards go to the small cafe on the corner, order and pay for your coffee and they will bring it out to your table (a slight upgrade from the bench!). I discreetly ate a clafoutis de cerise with the coffee, and no-one objected.

Astounding small sculpture park which you can freely wander round. Nice clean bench at the top, from which you can enjoy the view over the landscape. Munch your snack and sup your drink and revel in having got to the high-point of this tour.

Once Caen is behind you, you will find the Vélo Francette cycle route. Here it takes the greenway of Suisse Normande through beautiful natural landscapes along the Orne.

Completely car-free cycle path along an old disused railway, following the banks of the river l'Orne
