We had expected more from this place, but the lighthouse is not accessible and we didn't find a nice view nearby either.

This path is magnificent, it winds along the Saâne river as it reaches the sea, it offers a natural and idyllic setting, the color of the turquoise water is exceptional. Arriving at the beach of Ste Marguerite, treat yourself to a refreshment at the Guinguette des Voiles with a breathtaking view facing the sea

Itinerary with almost no roads (mainly dirt and coastal paths through fields and small sections of departmental and municipal roads) in very pretty natural environments. Especially the beach and the surroundings of Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer! However, some sad old fly-tipping and rarer more recent ones on the coastal paths and other points can be annoying. Also pay attention to the weather on the day of the outing and the previous days because some sections can become very muddy + some passages in the vegetation can transform, with growth, into slightly narrower and difficult to use spaces (mainly coastal paths). The erosion of the cliff seems to be accelerating in some parts and could make access to certain areas of the coastal paths more complex or even cut off in the (fairly) near future. Allow a good seven hours (minimum) in total with a few short breaks.
