Landscape and Trails
The yew trees near the Église Saint-Martin, which are several centuries old, have been recognised by the Conseil Général as part of the Manche département’s plant heritage.
On the La vallée du Doucoeur route, hikers can follow the marked trails. The hike through the Doucoeur Valley passes through a green valley where the Douceur flows; the Douceur is a tributary of the Sienne.
The hiking loop through the Doucoeur Valley leads to the former site of the Moulin Datin. This former site is crossed by an old stone bridge.
