Coastal path to Dalles

Highlight • Other

This small path leads to the beaches of Dalles, if you ever want to take a shortcut to the beaches. Maybe you have walked too much and your feet are begging you!

An alternative to the very steep path on the map: there is an easier serpentine through the Grands Dalles forest. If you are coming from above, do not turn left but continue straight through the mulberry trees.

Highlight • Castle

Empress Sissi of Austria stayed in Sassetot-le-Mauconduit in 1875 and the town renamed this castle in her honor. Who knows ? Perhaps it will be renamed in your honor after your visit!

May 25, 2025,Schleife von Les Petites Dalles zum Château de Sassetot

A beautiful tour in Normandy along the Alabaster Coast. A strong wind is blowing, and despite clouds and a rain shower, we have sunshine most of the time. I never would have thought we'd gain so much elevation here. Fantastic views of the chalk cliffs and the sea. The tour also leads past a castle that Sissi once visited. Many …

It is sometimes a scramble and zigzag through the bushes.. but a beautiful route along the coast and through the forest. On the way we took a look at Sissi's summer palace.

We actually wanted to walk the GR 21 from Fécamp to Saint Pierre, but the bus isn't running today 😄 because it's a holiday in France (May 8th!), so we walked this beautiful loop, at least part of the GR 21.

Attention, plan ahead. Watch out. At the level of the cliffs. Lots of water. And sticks.

If Sissi vacationed and hiked here (I wonder if that's true 😄), it must be beautiful. And it was – although the overcast weather wasn't ideal for really nice photos. But we had the trail almost entirely to ourselves.

Nice hike, at the end you walk quite a lot over land. Unfortunately we missed the opportunity to make a detour to the Plagé in Saint-Pierre-en-Port. Then there are a few more meters and also meters of elevation. If the parking spaces are full, there are still some in the village. You can also visit the great bakery there. Great …
