Seine-Maritime walks

Walk to see the magnificent alabaster coast of Etretat. The Upstream and Downstream gates, the famous hollow needle where Arsène Lupin is said to have hidden his treasure, the Manneporte.

A remarkable site for its beauty, it is known for its marine cemetery where Georges Braque, designer of a stained-glass window in the church, Georges de Porto-Riche, Albert Roussel and Jean Francis Auburtin are buried, among others. Claude Monet painted some beautiful pictures here. The two small woods, Bernouville and Les Communes, are worth a detour. Alternative route available in practical information.

This lovely little walk will allow you to discover the banks of the Saâne before it flows into the sea. Discover Varengeville-sur-Mer and its charming houses. Pass close to the Manoir d'Ango.

This hike starts in the centre of the village and follows the Grande Randonnée trails that circle around the south.

A circuit between forests, marshes and towpaths along the Seine. If you'd like to, don't hesitate to visit Brigitte, who collects lions and tigers (safely of course!).

This is a very varied walk, with a variety of landscapes including forest, marshland and plains. The terrain includes trails, towpaths, paths, small roads and places of interest such as an abbey, a collegiate church, a church, hamlets, a village and a market town.

This hike, starting from the charming village of Val-de-la-Haye on the banks of the Seine, gradually takes you into the Roumare forest, where you will walk along wide paths. The paths are all passable in wet weather.

Hike from Fécamp to Etretat and its cliffs. This hike follows theGR®21 trail. It is an easy hike overall, mostly flat and crossing numerous fields, so the trail is not always clearly marked, but you just need to keep your bearings and follow the red and white markings. However, there is a significant elevation gain due to the "valleuses", natural access points to the sea in this cliff-lined landscape.

Climb the cliffs, enjoy the Fréfossé Château, go on a pebble beach away from onlookers, discover the small valleys of the Pays de Caux... This is on the menu of this short hike.

A route for children, on country roads and through fields. I did this route with my three grandchildren, aged 3 and 8, for fun and to help them learn how to use a map.
