Darnétal walks

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!).

Panoramic trail through the woods with beautiful views of Rouen.

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.

This hike starts in the centre of the village and follows the Grande Randonnée trails that circle around the south.

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.

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 .

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

A short, peaceful walk on the outskirts of Rouen, perfect for getting some fresh air and sunshine. Most of the route passes through fields. There are a few sections of tarmac roads and paths, but this is the price you pay for discovering some very charming villages and hamlets.

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.

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.

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.
