The Normandy is famous for the steep coast and endless golden sandy beaches. The inland with historic villages, abbeys and marvellous castles are inspiring contrasts. Visit the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, protected under UNESCO Heritage, the natural and historic border between the Normandy and Bretagne. Mont Saint-Michel is famous for the impressive Benedictine monastery, target of pilgrims from all over the world. An additional scenic highlight is the island Jersey with beautiful beaches, breathtaking cliffs, lovely dunes, colourful flowers and picturesque ports. Enjoy French savoir-vivre with a glass of wine and excellent seafood.
Walk along the Cousnon river to the bay of Mont Saint-Michel. Cross pretty villages and visit a mill. Mont Saint-Michel is a fortified village situated on an island. On the top of a rock escarpment a monastery inhabited by a dozen monks is situated. You stay overnight on the mainland and can enjoy the special view over the Mont-Saint-Michel.
After crossing the marshes west of Couesnon river you leave the Normandy for the Bretagne. You walk through green undulating landscape, dotted with little houses and grazing cattle to the pretty villages Roz-sur-Couesnon and Sainte-Broladre. You will spend the night on the mainland. The half timbered houses belong to the best maintained examples of the Bretagne.
The first interesting point of today is Mont-Dol with beautiful old church. Then you follow an oyster-park for several kilometres. The last kilometers to Cancale offer superb views across the bay. You stay overnight in a hotel on the port. Cancale enjoys the reputation of being the capital of oyster, „Huîtres“. It is said that the local oysters are the best and freshest – judge for yourself.
Take a morning walk to the headland Grouin. It is quite possible that you will encounter seals and dolphins. A transfer brings you to Sain-Malo to catch the ferry to the island Jersey to St. Helier. From there you will be taken to the pretty harbor town of Gorey, where you will spend the next few nights.
The hike to Rozel offers breathtaking panoramic views of the harbor, bay and sea. The higher you climb the more beautiful the views. There are some steep ascents to tackle. Pretty harbour Rozel with old granite cottages invites to stop for a lunch break.
Starting from the harbour you walk inland through rural area and along meandering paths reach Grouville with its beautiful church. A little bit further you reach the coast and proceed along a unique path between the sea and the Royal Jersey golf course. At Fort William you have nearly reached the end of today’s tour!
Easy walking tours along the coast. Some stages require sure footedness. Walking distances in Jersey can be shortened by public transport. Scenic tour!

Normandie & Jersey - eine schöne und abwechlungsreiche Reise
Es war eine wirklich schöne Wanderreise. Die gebuchten Hotels waren zwischen sehr schön bis für eine Nacht o.k.. Eine Reisebetreuung vor Ort fand nicht statt, jedoch stand für eventuelle Fragen ein telefonischer Ansprechpartner zur Verfügung (haben wir jedoch nicht gebraucht). Die Mitarbeiter in den jeweiligen Hotels haben uns bei Fragen sehr gut unterstützt. Steigerungsfähig sind die Wegbeschreibungen der einzelnen Touren, ohne Google Maps hätten wir den Weg manchmal nicht gefunden. Insgesamt aber war die gesamte Reise inkl. Transfers, Fährüberfahrten etc. sehr gut organisiert. Wir hatten einen wirklich sehr schönen Urlaub. Vielen Dank Eurohike - bis zum nächsten Mal.

Wanderreise Normandie & Jersey
Die Streckenführung ist so ausgewählt worden, dass man einen sehr guten Eindruck von der Vielseitigkeit der Landschaft bekommt. Der Transfer mit den Taxis hat gut geklappt. Wir haben viele nette Menschen kennengelernt. Es ist hilfreich, wenn man einige Brocken Französisch verwendet (Begrüßung, Zahlen etc.). Ansonsten kommt man mit Englisch sehr gut zurecht.
