The highlight of this circular walk is the superb Château de la Grange Bléneau, whose origins date back to the 14th century and which, among other illustrious figures, hosted General de La Fayette from 1802 to 1834. Another mark of La Fayette's passage is the poplar tree known as the "Tree of Liberty", which he is said to have planted in 1831 in front of the church in Bernay.
