Description of the walk

Departure is from the car park of the Eu secondary school located at the top of Mont Vitôt, which is a district of the town.

(S/E) When you leave the car park, turn left and walk downhill until you reach the D1915 (Boulevard Victor Hugo).

(1) Cross the road. Turn left onto the pavement and continue, turning right at the crossroads. Continue along Rue Jean Duhornay for 130 metres. Cross to the left to take the path marked Hôtel de ville, Parc et Jardin, théâtre. Turn left into Allée de Guise and continue for 100 metres.

(2) Turn right (10 metres before the large gate) and take the steps leading into the park. Take the central path through the park to the château. Turn right to leave the park. Turn left onto Allée du Cheval, admiring the Château d'Eu on your left as you pass.

(3) On Place d'Orléans, go around the collegiate church on the right. Leave Rue de L'Abbaye on your left.

(4) Then turn left into the small alleyway (Rue de l'Hospice). Turn left onto Rue des Frères Anguier to go down the steps on your right and follow the inner pavement to the car park. Opposite, take Rue Charles Morin and then Rue Deparis on the left.

Continue across the Bresle and follow Avenue de le Gare to the Bresle backwater.

(5) After the bridge, turn left before the school to pass under the two footbridges. Follow Quai Maritime and Chemin de Halage as they continue.

(6) Once you have passed under the ring road, climb the metal staircase on the left and cross over the canal.

(7) As soon as you cross the bridge, turn right and go down the concrete steps. Continue straight ahead on the path and follow it to the EDF transformer station. Take the wooden footbridge, continue on the left to reach the exit of the path via the concrete blocks.

(8) Turn left and then right to walk alongside the sports field. Turn left at the motorhome car park.

(9) Take the path on the right along La Bresle, which you will follow to the roundabout. Continue to the right and cross the movable bridge. After the bridge, turn left (Quai Édouard Gelee) and go behind the safety barriers to take the path that runs alongside the marina (CAUTION: the edge is not protected!). At the roundabout, turn right, leave the footbridge on your right and continue along the quay.

Cross the lock and continue on your right along Quai Sadi Carnot and then Quai François 1er.
Pass the municipal fish market, continue to the roundabout and take the stairs to the right of the casino, which lead to the esplanade. Follow this to the end.

(10) Turn left, cross the roundabout and take Rue Amiral Courbet.

(11) Pass the funicular (or take it) and go to the end of the street. On the right, take the first staircase, then a second one on the right. At the exit of the funicular station, turn left onto Boulevard du Calvaire until you reach the stop sign.

(12) Go down 130 metres on the left on Route de Dieppe and go up on the right on Route de Mancheville, which becomes Chemin de Mancheville. At the stop sign, turn right onto the D78 to Mancheville (about 1.8 kilometres). After the first crossroads and the bus shelter, take the small downhill road on the left, then go up the road opposite to reach Mesnil Sterling. Pass the first street on the right, then the second on the left.

(13) Continue straight ahead on Rue du Mesnil Sterling. Turn left onto Rue de la Vierge, ignore Rue du Briquet on the right and continue straight ahead on Rue de la Vierge, which continues along a path. Cross the ring road (D925) and take the path on the left to the end.

Hello,
Just a minor downside for the section along the D78 (medium-sized shoulder) which was very busy with cars, but otherwise a very pleasant and informative hike.
Best regards.

Hello,

I can understand that you had a problem with the lock at Le Tréport, as the port authority has since carried out some work (I will make a change). However, this is a hike (not a walk) that has been classified as moderate rather than easy. The reviews from other hikers all give it top marks.
Enjoy your hike.

The route of this hike quickly becomes dangerous for a group, with a lot of road. Only the heritage section towards Eu is interesting. What a shame.

A lovely walk.
We started from the motorhome car park at the top of the cliff in Le Tréport. We took the opportunity to visit the town (castle and abbey church). The marshland between the town, port and industrial area is interesting. Beautifully laid out.
There's always something to see at the port.
Best regards.

A very interesting hike that allows you to discover the monuments of Eu, the port and beach of Le Tréport, and the panoramic view from the cliffs after a short ride on the free funicular railway.

In short, pure bliss!
