Itinerary
We invite you to discover, seen from the sea, the cliffs of the “Roches Noires” of Trouville-sur-Mer and Villerville.
This very long site starts east of Trouville-sur-Mer and extends over nearly four kilometers to the town of Villerville.
It offers a magnificent view of the sea, which led many notables in the last century to build their villas there. The recurring ground movements made more than one regret it when cracks started to spread in their walls! Since then, the perimeter has become unbuildable.
This site is of international importance for the wintering of the Oystercatchers. These, as well as other species of shorebirds (curlew, sandpipers, knights, etc.), come to feed on molluscs, bivalves and worms on the mussel beds as soon as they are discovered by the tide. At low water, we can hear the songs of all these birds feasting while the sight does not allow us to locate them so far they are far away (sometimes nearly a kilometer). The intensity of the concert gives, despite everything, an idea of the large numbers present in feeding.
