Roches de Ham, Granite cliffs and viewpoint in Brectouville, France
The Roches de Ham rises 100 meters above the Vire Valley, providing expansive views across the Norman countryside and the meandering river below.
The cliffs served as a strategic observation post during World War II, allowing German forces to monitor movements along the Vire Valley.
Local residents maintain hiking trails and organize nature walks to educate visitors about the geological formations and regional plant species.
The site includes a parking area, picnic tables, and marked trails that lead visitors to multiple observation platforms overlooking the valley.
The exposed rock faces reveal distinct layers of Normandy's ancient geological past, dating back over 500 million years.
