14 days on the GR®223 with the Hello la Roux bloggers
Hiking 446 km in 14 days: this was the challenge that Amélie and Benjamin set themselves. Known as HelloLaRoux, these two are bloggers, but especially hikers and photographers, and they walked the GR®223 in autumn. The adventurous pair headed off into the great outdoors from Carentan, taking stunning photos all the way to the bay of Mont Saint-Michel.
Despite the distance, which could put some people off, the tour of la Manche has no particular difficulties. You just need good shoes and warm clothing in case of bad weather and to be comfortable with all types of terrain. Amélie and Benjamin walked from 20 to 35 km every day. Between each stage, they enjoyed the comfort and authenticity of accommodation along the route: B&Bs, gîtes, campsites, lofts, hotels and hostels.
