Houppeville walks

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.

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

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

This hike, starting from the charming village of Val-de-la-Haye on the banks of the Seine, gradually takes you into the Roumare forest, where you will walk along wide paths. The paths are all passable in wet weather.

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.

Walking tour on little-used roads, paths and trails that cross the village and the marshes, run alongside the Seine, and criss-cross the plain and the forest.

A route for children, on country roads and through fields. I did this route with my three grandchildren, aged 3 and 8, for fun and to help them learn how to use a map.

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.

A pleasant walk along the Seine, starting with views of pretty villages and cliffs on the opposite bank. This route also passes through the Roumare National Forest and several villages. This hike offers views of no fewer than seven castles and manor houses, some of which are visible on the way back along the Seine.

A circuit between forests, marshes and towpaths along the Seine. If you'd like to, don't hesitate to visit Brigitte, who collects lions and tigers (safely of course!).

This is a very varied walk, with a variety of landscapes including forest, marshland and plains. The terrain includes trails, towpaths, paths, small roads and places of interest such as an abbey, a collegiate church, a church, hamlets, a village and a market town.

Circuit around the water: lakes, ponds and river. This walk begins by crossing the Seine via a footbridge that passes over the locks and the Poses dam. It then goes around the Lac des Deux Amants and the Lac du Mesnil, where numerous birds, including waterfowl, add to the charm of these lakeside landscapes. Finally, the return to the banks of the Seine takes you past splendid houses built from local stone and faces the chalk cliffs.

The 2 Lovers' hike.

This walk will take you through the charming village and past the ponds of Saint-Hellier, nestled on the banks of the Varenne River. It will lead you into the Forêt Domaniale d'Eawy, which overlooks the village.

Cette agréable randonnée vous permettra de découvrir ce petit coin de Normandie un peu méconnu car loin des lieux touristiques. On croise en chemin le joli Château de la Mésangère, un bel étang perdu en forêt mais surtout le Chêne à la Vierge de la Mésangère. Cet arbre remarquable est assurément l'un des plus beaux (si ce n'est le plus beau) de toute la région.

TheGR®2winds along the cliffs overlooking the Seine, descends into Les Andelys and climbs back up towards Château-Gaillard.

A lovely walk through the Seine Valley. From the top of the white cliffs, the view of Les Andelys dominated by Château Gaillard is unforgettable. The tall forest you pass through is colonised by ferns and sometimes looks like the beginning of the world as we imagine it.

This extremely varied hike will clear your head, open up superb landscapes and tone your calves. From the beautiful Norman village of Les Andelys, you set off for the mountains. At least, that's the impression you get as you walk along the side of the rock on a narrow mule track with spectacular views of the limestone rocks and the Seine. On the way back, you follow the banks of the Seine, gently returning to solid ground.
