The bridge over the Orne River is located in the heart of Normandy Switzerland. The D171 regional road connects the towns of Brieux and Goupillières.

Once Caen is behind you, you will find the Vélo Francette cycle route. Here it takes the greenway of Suisse Normande through beautiful natural landscapes along the Orne.

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. More info: http://baguenaudes.net/mine-de-may-sur-orne/
