The GRP® Tour de la presqu?île du Cotentin mostly follows the GR®223 along the coast.
It differs in the southern part, crossing the marshes to complete the Tour du Cotentin in 15 days.
The route leaves Portbail along the harbour and Olande. After taking the old railroad line, now a greenway, in the direction of La Haye, you will ride through the Cotentin bocage. The hedgerow, already useful to local farmers, is a welcome addition to your route, providing windbreaks and shade for walkers.
