Situated near Cherbourg-Octeville, this circuit with very diversified landscapes crosses bocage, hillside woods and rivers steeped in deep valleys. The steep gradient and the length of its coastline gullied by water make it relatively difficult and technical. The Château des Ravalets, characteristic of the Cotentinian Renaissance, is the starting point for this tour
