Promenade du CAUE Promenade "des mange-cailloux"

A forest envelops the folds of Fermanville, covering their thin soils with a mantle of leaves, branches and seeds. The paths are engraved in the relief: hunting Crève-Coeur, Curé and Houvetteries. Often peasants and hunters, they become buildings when they are lined with solid stacked blocks of granite. Trees greet us with their faces lit up under their hair combed by the winds. We cross the streams and guess, in the forest, the lines of walls which outlined the contours of the green meadows described by the poet Marie Ravenel. The roots of a beech tree slide along the cornerstone of the wall of a now buried field and its multiple branches seek the light. It is a stone-eating tree exploring the sky and the earth.
