What is Mad Jacques?

From October 4 to 6, a great trek Mad Jacques will bring together many walkers departing from the Château de Flamanville. Supported by the Cotentin Tourist Office and Channel Attitude, this event aims to demonstrate that trekking can be practiced elsewhere than in the mountains and in the middle of summer.

3 days trekking expedition in the Hague

After a successful edition in 2023 in the Val de Saire, Mad Jacques is making its return to the Channel, and more precisely to La Hague, for a unique adventure along the dunes and cliffs. For three days, explore the wild coast of La Hague, with two coastal paths to discover in a single weekend: on one side, endless beaches and dunes, on the other, cliffs and coves. Along the way, checkpoints will help you discover the local region. On arrival, a big party will celebrate adventure and regional products. An ideal expedition to enjoy the end of the season!
