Hike done in December 2024, which was a rainy year, so the path was very muddy in places, especially towards the end. The part through the village isn't unpleasant, but it's definitely not one to do on a Saturday or at times when there are likely to be a lot of cars.

Beautiful, easy hike with clear markings and varied landscapes between plains and woodlands
Paths are very rutted in places, but this is due to the recent rain!
Easy hike but good footwear is necessary

A pleasant and varied walk, very close to Rouen. Lovely stretches through forests and along field edges. We preferred to avoid the busy section of Rue aux Juifs (Rue Eugène Cave to the sports grounds, a small path that takes us back to Rue de Cailly, then Rue Ducatel to join Rue aux Juifs). During the week, don't miss Maison Vatelier, where you can enjoy a delicious lemon meringue pie, for example!

A lot of road, sometimes having to share the road with cars. No difficulty. Keep in mind for a rainy day if you want to avoid too much mud..

The route starts on a slightly busy road, then continues along pleasant country lanes and through woodland, with one section that is a little muddy.
No problem with parking; we did this hike on a Saturday and parked in the car park opposite the school.

We had the same problem with the town hall regarding parking, so we parked in the Rue du Sud car park for community organisations.
The route, which we modified slightly, is pleasant, but unfortunately a bit muddy in winter. We will do it again in summer.

A town hall official recommended that next time we park our cars in the cemetery car park, for greater road safety and ease of parking for shop customers.
Between points (5) and (6), we hesitated between two paths. We made the wrong choice and had to take a little detour to enjoy the forest a little longer!
The description at point (5) should be clarified: After descending from the woods, take the Fond du Bray on your left towards the east.
Enjoy your hike!

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion.

For your information, "Route on map" refers to assessing the accuracy of the route as it appears on the map in relation to the actual terrain.

Did the route cause any problems? If so, how can we remedy this? Can you make any suggestions?

that is, going north, south or north-east is not easy, and we had a problem there

When hiking without a compass, it is essential to match the map to the terrain. (North is indicated on the Visorando map)

Sometimes a small compass in your pocket can be useful and provide a little comfort.
On the other hand, the Visorando GPS app is very convenient.

See you soon!

a pleasant hike, but our criticism is that it is not very clear when you need to change direction
i.e. whether to go NORTH or SOUTH or NORTH-EAST, which is not easy, and that's where we had a problem
fortunately, we knew this area, the Mare au Loup, etc., etc.
this is not a criticism but information that may be useful.

THANK YOU

Enjoyable for groups. Not difficult, with few hills. A little too much along tarmac roads, although there was little traffic on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Good distance, 10km, and close to Rouen.
