This 6 km circuit starting from the Vieille-Lyre offers lovely panoramas over the Risle valley. Children slip into the skin of the monks of the former Lyre Abbey who walked the path of the same name daily. The hamlet of Trisay is particularly bucolic. Beehives, cows and rivers punctuate the route. A short detour in front of the Trou Normand gîte will allow you to discuss Bourvil with your children. Why not introduce them to his funny movies and songs?

Step 1
The start of the path is at the Vieille-Lyre in the lane between the school and the town hall.
Go away from the town hall, and go down the small path. Continue straight ahead, and follow the road which makes a right angle, then descends towards the D833. On the road, take the path along the fields to avoid the edge of the road. Continue to the Neuve-Lyre. When you arrive at the route de Conches, go to the right in the rue de la Sergenterie which you descend to the bottom. Turn right in the rue des frères Loisiel and cross the Risle. Continue on this street. On leaving the village, turn right onto the GR 224.

Cross a road and continue straight ahead, still on the GR 224. After the houses of a subdivision, cross a second larger road and continue straight ahead on a path which curves and descends towards the valley. At the road, turn left, then on the first road on the right which crosses the Risle and joins Trisay. At the crossroads, turn right, towards Vieille-Lyre.
