Villers-Bocage →The Souleuvre Viaduct 3A

Information on cycle routes
Tourist Offices
and Visitor Centres
From Villers-Bocage return to the ‘Manoir de la Queue du Renard’ and continue
towards Cahagnes, via the Craham valley. Following in the footsteps of the
liberation, you will take the road of ‘the Bocage Breakout’, of which a museum
at Saint-Martin-des-Besaces tells the adventures. Travel into the heart of
Normandy’s ‘bocage’ country with its landscapes alternating between pastures,
forest and hills as far as the Souleuvre Viaduct. Built in the way of Gustave Eiffel,
it has been converted into a centre for bungee jumping, with a high wire and
giant see-saw.
