Itinéraire
Tip: Leave around 11am for a lunch break at one of the Croisiens restaurants on the Plage du Débarquement!
At the Croix roundabout, opposite the Tourist Office, take the subway and walk down Boulevard Tabarin towards "Tabarin, Vergeron, Gigaro".
Turn right into Rue de l'Eglise, then take the next turning on the right.
At the crossroads, take the footpath opposite on the right, signposted "Plage".
Follow the vines on your left. At the crow's feet, take the green lane on your left. After the vineyards, you can take the fitness trail and the botanical trail on the right, or continue straight ahead (the two paths merge).
Cross the stream on your left, then take the path on the right between the vines. Cross the other stream and take the track in front of you.
At the end of the track, you have two options:
- Return along the same path
- Turn right onto the footpath. At the roundabout, go past the D-Day car park and take the subway on the right. Immediately to your left, follow the Boulevard de la Mer up to the intersection with the dual carriageway. Turn right towards "Le Village". After Boulevard de Tahiti, take the pavement on your right. Follow the children's square on the right and continue straight on until you reach the Tourist Office.
