View of Nez de Jobourg

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a very beautiful section of the coastal path with a view of the Nez de Jobourg. Note that this rocky promontory is also the oldest geological area in Cotentin. It houses four small caves that can be visited.

Jobourg Headland

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Jobourg Nose is a 2 billion year old rocky promontory that is home to a bird sanctuary. This plan is very popular with visitors, more than any other natural site in the region, with the exception of Mont-Saint-Michel.

Here is a very beautiful part of the customs path, GR223, with a view of the cliffs and the sea, in particular the bay of Ecaltrain, a popular spot for paragliders, and the Anse du Col-Rond.

A great hike! By chance we chose the inland route to start with. It turned out that it was the better option for me, as the GR 223, the customs officer's path, went uphill in slightly more difficult terrain. I might have had some problems going downhill. A really great tour with beautiful views in all directions. The La Gravelette crêperie in Dannery is right on the way and is worth a stop. The oysters were top-notch and the galette was great! The GR 223 is a bit rough up to the Nez du Jobourg but super beautiful! For me it was a moderate tour because of the rough part. If you're not completely free from vertigo you might have problems. Technically the route is easy except for this one part, which is a bit strenuous.

Zöllerpfad - I'm in love. Fantastic hike with magnificent views of the roaring Atlantic. PS Always go hiking with a rain jacket.

I think this is easily one of the most beautiful walks along the west coast of Normandy. It goes up and down the rocky partly green coast, on winding paths, with beautiful views of the water. If you are looking, you will find isolated accesses to the water, e.g. at the end of the tour at Baie ď Ecalgrain. There is a refreshment stop at the Nez de Voidries.
