Worth a visit

Nucourt Church
German V1 quarries in Nucourt (route de Serans, known as La Carrière).
From the Middle Ages to the present day, they have had a turbulent history. During the Second World War, the Germans used nearby quarries to assemble V1 rockets.
Nucourt received the assembly components via the Chars-Magny railway line. On 15 July, a fleet of 47 Lancasters dropped 5-tonne bombs from an altitude of 5,400 metres, which were powerful enough to penetrate 30 metres of rock. The Bois des Jardins took on a lunar appearance; 80% of the village was destroyed, but the V1 base was no more than a memory. TheGR® 11 trail leads us to the quarries of Nucourt.

Easy hike, practically no elevation gain.
From the school, it is a bit monotonous. The season may not be ideal for seeing beautiful vegetation.
Don't miss the church, which is very picturesque. The village of Nucourt has been rebuilt and lacks a certain charm.

A very pleasant, easy walk, not too long... perfect for getting back into shape after lockdown.
Walk through fields of wheat and barley (soon to be harvested), corn, and also flax, with magnificent blue fields.
Interesting heritage too. The village of Nucourt is very beautiful with stone-fronted houses, pretty Burgundy tile roofs... and its church 1 km away, which you reach via a path through the fields... a stunning 12th to 16th century church with a Renaissance façade... standing alone in the middle of the countryside. Very beautiful. It's no surprise that these places are often used for TV and film shoots.
The route is very easy to follow. Lovely scenery.

If you follow the directions, you end up doing the hike backwards, or perhaps there is a detail that we didn't understand. Apart from this problem, the route is enjoyable. Don't miss the troglodyte village.

Hello
A nice walk to do with children (aged 4 and 7): I modified the route a little to make it more interesting.
The walk there across the plain is quite peaceful, but the return trip across the plain risked being too "boring" for the children. So we returned via the Aubette Valley, following the "GR" trail along an old railway line: a very pleasant walk, despite the recent gales that had blown down a few trees along the way, which added an adventurous element that the children enjoyed.
In short, it was a beautiful walk and a real change of scenery for the little Parisians...

Hello, everyone

Second day of lockdown easing and first hike: wearing masks in the car and then free!
A nice, easy hike with no difficulties. We saw: 1 deer, 1 hare, 2 partridges, but no pangolins...

Hike on 24 December 2019: At this time of year, there is nothing of visual interest. The paths are muddy and slippery (caution and walking sticks required). For those who love walking, for walking's sake... for those addicted to uncertain weather.
To be repeated when we need some sunshine...

A pleasant and easy walk with little elevation and wide paths. That day, we saw two deer and a wild boar running away (hunting season), which the children really enjoyed. A great first experience of the French Vexin region!

Very good. Easy hike, we were there and enjoyed the fresh air for 2 hours and 10 minutes. (Difficult to get a 3G connection there, luckily the map was printed out.) Thank you.
