The first part of the hike was not pleasant, involving several kilometres of walking through dreary, uninteresting farmland.

Uninteresting route, no signposting. The route around the ponds in Flocques at the start is nice (urban development), but the rest is farm tracks through fields. In Le Tréport, there is an urban crossing and a tourist viewpoint.

To be done at sunrise, with magnificent scenery stretching as far as the eye can see!
Return trip via the cliffs, a real change of scenery!
