The Coastal Path – GR223<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The GR223<\/strong> long-distance path is usually called the \u2018Sentier de Douaniers<\/strong>\u2019 (the Customs Officers\u2019 path) or the \u2018Sentier du Littoral<\/strong>\u2019 (the coastal path). Whether you\u2019re an experienced hiker who\u2019s happy to walk for hours or you just want to go for a short walk, the Sentier du Littoral has something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its 23 sections (each section is about 20 kilometres long) have one thing in common \u2013 they all follow the coast of the Manche<\/strong> – 446 kilometres\u2019 worth of marvellous sights and sounds. The path starts in Isigny-sur-Mer in Carentan and hugs the coast until Pontaubault near Mont Saint Michel<\/strong>. See a side to the Manche that you\u2019ve never seen before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location of the H\u00f4tel Les Pieux<\/strong> is suitable for overnight stops between two sections. There are two sections of the GR223 which pass close by the hotel: Biville to Sciotot (21.1km), followed by Sciotot to Hattainville (17.8km).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
