Discover the rich variety of habitats and biodiversity in the Calvados department with the guides from the CPIE Vallée de l’Orne. Have you heard of the Confessionnaux cliff? Offering a glimpse into the bedrock of the Caen plain, the cliff has much to teach us about extinct fauna through the fossils it contains, but also about today’s wildlife, as it provides a protected habitat for many coastal species. A testament to past climates, the Confessionnaux cliff also marks the changes currently taking place.
