Description of the walk

Park in the Place Louis Renault car park in Herqueville.

(S/E) Head towards the woods via Rue des Forêts, passing the sports ground and schools on your right.

(1) At the crossroads, turn right and take the lane to the D65.

(2) Turn right and walk up the D65 for 20 metres, cross carefully and take the small passage on the left. Walk for about 20 metres, then take the path on your right.

(3) When you reach a wider path, turn left and continue straight ahead until you reach the RD313.

(4) Cross carefully and continue straight ahead along Rue des Grandes Vignes for about 300 metres.

(5) When the road begins to descend, turn right and take the path leading to Andé. Walk alongside a grove of trees, come out onto Rue des Écoles and continue to the right. Pass in front of the church and town hall and continue to the school.

(6) Cross the road and take the concrete cycle path, then the Sente des Perelles, which runs alongside the pasture facing the castle. Continue to the junction with the D11.

(7) Cross carefully at the pedestrian crossing and go opposite Rue des Bleuets. At the end of this street, turn right and go up Rue du Moulin to the junction leading to Moulin d'Andé; a wooden arch marks this point.

(8) Take the tarmac road on the left leading down to Moulin d'Andé. Just before entering the property, turn right onto the dirt track alongside the gates of the mill, following theGR® markings. Follow this path under the trees, with the Louis Renault property on the hillside to your right.

(9) At Plage de Connelles, continue along the paved road along the Seine (Rue de la Seine) and follow it to the intersection just before the D11.

(10) Turn right to go up the D11 (Route de Connelles), passing in front of the church. Once you have completed the bend, cross the road carefully and position yourself on the left-hand side of the road so that you are safe behind the wooden railings. Follow the edge of the road until you reach the end of the bend.

(11) Turn left onto the tree-lined lane until you reach Route de Daubeuf (D11).

(12) Cross carefully and take the dirt track opposite to the edge of the woods.

(13) Turn right onto the path.

(1) Turn right again to return to Rue des Forêts, which leads to the starting point of this walk, Place Louis Renault in Herqueville (S/E).

A very pleasant route, we will do it again in winter when all the leaves have fallen from the trees so we can see Porte Joie.

This hike is accessible to all, however the lack of signposting along the route requires caution. It would also be helpful to indicate the distances between each point.
The highlight is undoubtedly the Moulin d'Andé, which is well worth a visit (see opening days and times)

A beautiful hike that I will do again when the weather is nice.
As explained in previous comments, when there are few leaves on the trees, you can see the magnificent properties along the banks of the Seine.
I'll be back!

Thank you for your feedback.
Unfortunately, it is still not possible to explain certain points clearly, as nature changes with the seasons. The advantage of Visorando is that you can follow the route on your phone and get back on track fairly quickly.
Kind regards

Hello, a wonderful discovery. First exploration.
A bit tricky getting to point 4 and the 20 metres to find the path to D... luckily we had the route on our mobile.
With the group, we will go to the cemetery in Herqueville to see Louis Renault's cenotaph.
Thank you. Challe Annick

Here are a few observations:
It's a shame that there aren't more signposts, but otherwise, there's always the map!
(6) => Don't be afraid to follow the path for about 80 metres, which then turns 180° (so you can't see it).
(7) => Sente des Bleuets, not Rue des Bleuets
A very beautiful hike, to be done again and again depending on the season.
In March, don't hesitate to go to the other side at Porte-joie after your walk to admire the old Renault house.

With climate change, these swans may become storks in the near future!

You're absolutely right, they were swans! We're ridiculous. After carefully examining the photos my wife took with her camera with a zoom lens, these creatures didn't have pointed beaks. Our imagination played tricks on us. That doesn't take away from the beauty of these animals in the field, seen from afar. Thank you for your kind comment!

Thank you for your comment. White birds (often swans) can be seen in the fields on the plain looking towards Muids.

A beautiful, varied walk in glorious sunshine. Lovely houses in ANDÉ and peaceful surroundings with a view of the SEINE. In a field, a group of white storks delighted us with their presence. Thank you for this walk.

Thank you for the information about the cemetery.
The Seine is different in every season.

A very interesting route to take, if possible when there are few leaves on the trees so you can see the Seine. See Louis Renault's property and cenotaph at Herqueville Cemetery.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to download the GPX file, but the description is well done. No problem!
