Remarkable points on the circuit
14- Mount Robin: In the heart of the bocage, from valley to valley, hedges delimit the fields and shape this typical Normandy landscape. These hedges are particularly welcoming biotopes for a very rich fauna and flora.
15- The church of Notre-Dame des Marais in Gouvets: It was built at the bottom of the valley in the XIIth century, a legend says that a mason threw a stone saying "where you fall, we'll build the church". The building was built near the river, at the place where the stone fell.
16- The belvedere of Saint Vigor des Monts : Belvedere with orientation tables offering a view of the Norman Bocage. Communal bakery, can be visited. A bread festival takes place there every year in May.
17- Le château de la Roche Tesson de la commune de La Colombe: Site of the former castle of La Roche Tesson destroyed during the Hundred Years War (1427) by the Duke of Gloucester.
