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!).

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.

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.

There is nothing special to discover on this short route, just a breath of fresh air. Pass through the fields on the Franquevillais plateau, descend to the Lyons-la-Forêt road via the Sente des Hauts Bœufs to reach the village of Épinay. Then, climb up the path at the edge of the Bois des Chartreux towards Le Faulx, in the commune of Franqueville-Saint-Pierre.

This introductory loop hike takes in the western slopes of Rouen (Fond du Val - Le Cotillet) as far as the Portes de la Forêt Verte small park. The route is largely an out-and-back, so you can shorten the walk if you need to, depending on your physical abilities.

A short walk to discover the northern part of the Forêt Verte, which is less frequented. Over just a few kilometres, you will discover a wide variety of forest landscapes.

A short walk around the village. After crossing the forest, we will return via theGR® 25 to the village, passing in front of the small church.

This hike is a kind of treasure hunt, during which you will have to find eight pebbles. Each pebble has a word written on it. Once you have found all the words, you will have to put them together to form a sentence that answers this question:What do you reap when you move forward with words?

Country lanes and forest paths take you to the semi-troglodytic Saint-Adrien chapel, passing through the village of Belbeuf where you can admire the castle and its polygonal dovecote.

A pleasant walk passing by the thatched cottages of Quincampoix. Then, cross a wooded area where you may see pheasants in the plains.

A walk with varied landscapes: countryside, forests, abbey and the banks of the Andelle.

Starting from the Clos Démont housing estate, this 9 km hike will take you along various paths in La Neuville-Chant-d'Oisel. You can take a break at the pond on Rue Saint-Autin, in the Lotissement des Beaux Repaires park, or on the Promenade du Clos Démont. Along the way, you will also see the Château Jacques Anquetil. You can shorten this route at any time by taking Rue des Andelys towards the town hall.

This is a pleasant walk with only one steep section. It mainly follows tarmac roads, so it is passable in rainy weather. It can be done by mountain bike.

This route is suitable for all levels as the outward and return journeys follow the same route, so you can turn back at any time! The starting point is near the Jonquemare pond in Neuville-Chant-d'Oisel. Passing through the Longboël forest, you will go through the Parc des Flotteaux, the Guinguette des Écluses, the dam and the Lac des Deux Amants.
