October 25, 2023, M16 Half-Track Memorial, Tournai-sur-Dives

For a unique and historic destination, you can stop at this M16 Half-Track in Tournai-Sur-Dive. This is a rare example of an American WWII anti-aircraft vehicle that was abandoned by Allied forces after the liberation of France. It was to be equipped with four 0.5-inch machine guns mounted on a quadruple mount at the rear. You can imagine the noise he made shooting at enemy planes.

October 25, 2023, Château des Ducs

The Château des Ducs is a 14th century castle that was once the residence of Pierre II de Valois, a descendant of Saint Louis. The castle is today the seat of the court of justice, but you can still admire its architecture and its chapel, which houses a magnificent altarpiece from the 18th century.

At this point, the hiking trail leads back seven or eight millennia into the history of the European continent and its settlement. The people of that era were able to build amazing buildings using only the work of their hands - and with (from today's perspective) seemingly primitive tools. So this ring wall - partly brick, partly made of stones - that protectively surrounded the "Camp Celtique de Bierre".

This fortified site was built in the Middle Neolithic (5300-4400 BC), when agricultural practices were beginning to take hold. The camp is one of the largest in western France.

12th century Romanesque building, one of the best preserved in France. Similar to the Anglo-Norman dungeon family. Visible from the outside. Free
