GR®226

From Vaux (Calvados) to Gue-Rochoux (Manche)

The GR226 long-distance hiking trail traverses the unspoiled landscapes of Suisse Normande and the Bocage Virois region. The rolling geography of the Armorican Massif, with its schist ridges and steep-sided valleys, offers a surprising topography for the area. This route follows ancient sunken lanes and rural thoroughfares that once connected isolated farms to market towns. The built heritage is revealed through granite churches, stone bridges spanning small rivers, and manor houses typical of Norman architecture. Hikers will traverse hedged meadows, dense deciduous forests, and heathland on the higher ground. The wildlife is abundant, often sheltering birds of prey such as the common buzzard and forest mammals. As you approach the English Channel, the landscape opens up to wider horizons, marking the transition to southern Manche.
