Bois-Guillaume walks

An easy hike that leads from the town hall of Bois Guillaume to the church of Isneauville via the paths of Bois Guillaume and the footpaths of the new district of Isneauville, returning via the Forêt Domaniale Verte.

Walk starting from Bois-Guillaume through the Parc du Chapitre and Saint-Martin-du-Vivier, passing via the Saint-Martin fitness trail.

This is an easy stroll that allows you to discover some of the footpaths that characterise Bois-Guillaume and the Forêt Domaniale Verte, which is magnificent, especially in autumn. This route can also be done by bicycle.

A walk in the green forest, suitable all year round. The paths are wide and often paved, so there is little risk of mud.

Panoramic trail through the woods with beautiful views of Rouen.

A short walk to start (or finish) your meal in the Forêt Domaniale Verte, where the variety of trees means it’s lovely in autumn (a riot of colours and sunlight filtering through the canopy), but also in summer (shaded except between points (3) and (4)) and in winter and spring too, as it’s magnificent all year round.

This short walk will allow you to discover the banks of the Robec and then the murals painted on the walls of the Sapins buildings.

Hike on two sides of the Robec, woods, meadows, plains and villages.

Rouen and its half-timbered streets. Typical Normandy and boats on the Seine. With a rich and prestigious past, largely dating back to the medieval era, not to mention the martyrdom and death of Joan of Arc.

With a nod to Victor Hugo, who referred to the city as the city of a hundred bell towers, the theme of this urban walk is churches and chapels without bell towers. These are the remains of churches that have suffered the ravages of history and urbanisation, as well as churches and chapels that have been deconsecrated and converted to other uses or are awaiting decisions on their fate. A few buildings still used for worship are exceptions, but they are well worth a visit. An opportunity to (re)discover this beautiful city .

This introductory loop hike takes in the western slopes of Rouen (Fond du Val - Le Cotillet) as far as the Portes de la Forêt Verte small park. The route is largely an out-and-back, so you can shorten the walk if you need to, depending on your physical abilities.

A walk through Rouen, a quintessential Norman city with its many churches and remarkable monuments, its clock and its historic sites, as well as its panoramic views of the Seine and the city from the hillsides.

This is a very pleasant walk through charming little villages where you can admire magnificent thatched cottages and other typical Norman houses, or pass through the village of Fontaine-sous-Préaux where the Robec river has its source. You will also pass through woods where you can enjoy a little shade when it is hot. Be careful on the few fairly steep climbs and descents and on some paths that can be very muddy in wet weather (this is Normandy, after all!).

A short walk to discover the northern part of the Forêt Verte, which is less frequented. Over just a few kilometres, you will discover a wide variety of forest landscapes.

A hike that’s half urban, half woodland. A pleasant route that climbs through the woods below the neighbourhoods of La Grand-Mare, Les Sapins and Le Châtelet in Bihorel. The descent takes you via La Petite Bouverie and Le Longpaon de Darnétal, mainly through the woods.

A stroll along Rouen’s quays, which have been converted into a promenade, between the Presqu’île Rollet and Île Lacroix, with a detour through the old town.
