To the gateway to the Forêt Verte via Fond du Val
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.
Enigmatic trail in the Canteleu Monumental Forest

Walking tour in the heart of Rouen
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.
Quincampoix loop
A pleasant walk passing by the thatched cottages of Quincampoix. Then, cross a wooded area where you may see pheasants in the plains.
Walk around Roumare
After leaving the centre of a pleasant little village, cross a wood and a plain, passing through two hamlets. Alternate between small roads, pedestrian side streets, paths and trails.
Churches without bell towers in Rouen
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

The countryside on the outskirts of Rouen

From Darnétal to the source of the Robec
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!).
