Hello friends! How are you at the beginning of autumn 2024? 😊
Do you know Switzerland? Do you know Normandy?
These are not very close places and yet... Did you know that there is a natural region called Suisse Normande (Switzerland in Normandy) ?
It combines the landscapes of Switzerland and Normandy: mountains, granite rocks, plains and green forests.
And we went there for a walk!
We stopped in Clécy 📍, a small town located in Suisse Normande, in Calvados. It is also known for being the capital of Suisse Normande.
We started the walk by following the banks of the Orne, the river that crosses the town:
Then we followed the greenway, a walking path that follows the old railway line and runs along the Orne. So we gained a little height by taking steps to reach the top of the bridge.
From here, we had a superb view of the limestone cliffs and the entire valley!
After walking for an hour, we turned around and headed towards the center of the village.
Most of the houses are made of stone and the streets are cobbled. The village is full of charm!
There is a very beautiful church in the center of the village, called : L’Église St Pierre.
After this beautiful discovery, it was time for us to go home. But on the road, we made a short stop in a historic town: Falaise.
We wanted to discover this village, its stone houses, its cobbled streets, and especially its imposing castle. The castle of William the Conqueror. Moreover, Falaise is known for being the birthplace of William the Conqueror.
We really enjoyed visiting this village!
In short, more great discoveries not far from home: Swiss Normandy, its small friendly villages and its green and hilly landscapes. Everything we love!
And you, what are your latest discoveries? 😊
See you soon,
Johanna

Hello les amis ! Comment allez-vous en ce début d’automne 2024 ? 😊
Est-ce que vous connaissez la Suisse ? Est-ce que vous connaissez la Normandie ?
Ce ne sont pas des lieux très proches l’un de l’autre et pourtant…Savez-vous qu’il existe une région naturelle appelée la Suisse Normande ?
Elle combine les paysages de Suisse et de Normandie : des monts, des roches de granit, des plaines et des forêts verdoyantes.
Et nous avons été y faire un tour !
Nous nous sommes arrêtés à Clécy 📍, une petite commune située en Suisse Normande, dans le Calvados. Elle est d’ailleurs connue pour être la capitale de la Suisse Normande.
Nous avons commencé la balade par longer le bord de l’Orne, la rivière qui traverse la commune :
Ensuite, nous avons suivi la voie verte, un chemin de balade qui suit l’ancien tracé de la voie ferrée et qui longe l’Orne. Nous avons donc pris un peu de hauteur en empruntant des marches pour arriver en haut du pont.
D’ici, on avait une superbe vue sur les falaises calcaires et toute la vallée !
Après avoir marché une heure de marche, nous avons fait demi-tour et nous nous sommes dirigés vers le centre du village.
La plupart des maisons sont en pierre et les ruelles sont pavées. Le village est plein de charme !
Il y a une très belle église au centre du village : L’Église St Pierre.
Après cette belle découverte, il était temps pour nous de rentrer. Mais sur la route, nous avons fait un petit stop dans une commune historique : Falaise.
Nous avions envie de découvrir ce village, ses maisons en pierre, ses rues pavées, et surtout son imposant château. Le château Guillaume le Conquérant. D’ailleurs, Falaise est connue pour être le lieu de naissance de Guillaume le Conquérant.
On a beaucoup aimé visiter ce village !
Bref, encore de belles découvertes pas loin de chez nous : La Suisse Normande, ses petits villages sympathiques et ses paysages verdoyants et vallonnés. Tout ce qu’on aime !
Et vous, quelles sont vos dernières découvertes ? 😊
À bientôt,
Johanna

Mixing Swiss and Normandy landscapes sounds like one of the best sceneries one can have out there. Each of the two have a specific beauty and when they make a team it's even more fascinating!
