Tips from the Community
Superb hike, quite physical (a few nice climbs) but with a superb panorama over (and then) the rocks of the park with a passage through Clecy, charming!

The Maison à pans de bois de la rue des Cuisiniers is a famous medieval half-timbered building located in Bayeux, Normandy. Dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, it features an overhanging structure and remarkably well-preserved wooden facades. Located in the most authentic and medieval district of the city, the eponymous street was historically the haunt of the cooks' and roasters' guilds. The historic building has had many lives: it successively housed a shop, an inn, a restaurant called Le Loge à pieds (until the early 20th century), and even served as a tourist office.

Il Mulino di Coisel (known in French as Moulin de Coisel) is a historic watermill located in Bayeux, in the Normandy region of France. This charming building represents an ancient testament to the local artisanal and industrial tradition, harnessing the water power of the river Aure.

Nowadays, very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: solely through human ingenuity and the natural power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and thus, for example, grain kernels could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).
