Former mine at May-sur-Orne

Highlight • Historical Site

Next to the bikeway "Voie verte" are the remains of the ancient mine of May sur Orne.
The extraction was done on the right bank of the Orne river whereas, the shipment by rail took place on the left bank. The emaciated silhouettes of the crusher-accumulators that overlooked the railway tracks are still standing. So is the mining bridge and a storage silo.
This site reminds that in the history Normandy, was once one of the main steel regions in France.

Driving Dreysene rails

Highlight • Other

For a fairly long stretch, you can travel back and forth in the valley on the still-existing tracks on the Dreysene.
The acacia shoots make the ride interesting for those sitting on the tree side, and there are plenty of views of the valley.

A rest area at the train station.
There's more than just tables and benches here, plus a nice place to linger.
