La Frénaye walks
La Frénaye, Lillebonne and La Trinité-du-Mont in a circular
Starting from La Frénaye, the hike takes walkers on a journey of discovery through a doubly rich heritage: that of the former textile industry in the Pays de Caux and that of the even older Roman presence that left its mark on the area. Between rolling landscapes, archaeological remains and ancient sites linked to the textile industry, the route offers a unique immersion, where nature and heritage meet. Ideal for history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Forest route starting from Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Haie
This route consists mainly of paths along the edge of woods that wind their way past a few isolated houses. The Saint-Arnoult forest is less well known than its neighbour, the Trait-Maulévrier forest, but is well worth a visit.
Walk in the forest of Saint-Arnoult
A lovely walk in the Saint-Arnoult forest, a little-known forest with many paths.
It suffers from its proximity to the much larger Trait-Maulévrier forest, but it is worth getting to know with its hamlets and houses that are a little remote but full of charm
From the banks of the Seine to the Château de Villequier
This hike allows you to see the Victor Hugo Museum on the banks of the Seine, the Château de Villequier and, above all, beautiful views of the Seine.
Around Vieux-Port
Vieux-Port is the smallest commune in the Eure department. It has preserved the characteristic houses of eastern Normandy, half-timbered farmhouses with cob walls and thatched roofs. It is a popular stopover for boaters sailing on the Seine. The hike crosses the village, but also beautiful forests and typical Norman hamlets, and offers beautiful views of the Seine.
Between Saint-Wandrille-Rançon and Caudebec-en-Caux
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.
Abbey and Brotonne Forest in Saint-Wandrille-Rançon
Shaded hike in the Brotonne Forest. Views of the Seine and Saint-Wandrille Abbey.
La Mailleraye, between the curves of the river Seine

A circuit through plains and undergrowth in the heart of Caux passing through the charming hamlet of Veraval.

Hamlets and marshes along the Seine and Risle rivers
Near Honfleur in Normandy, along the Seine estuary and in the bocage, a hike of about 20 km on trails with majestic panoramic views.
La Belgique in Fréville
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.
Harelle marshes and peat bogs
Located on the left bank of the Seine, Heurteauville offers an exceptional natural setting, perfect for a peaceful and immersive hike. The village nestles at the foot of the Brotonne Forest, one of the large natural massifs of the Boucles de la Seine Regional Nature Park.
From flowers to fruit around Jumièges Abbey
Hike in the Jumièges region, known for its many fruit tree plantations. In spring, these blossoming trees line the route, which also veers into the forest to visit a tiny chapel nestled among the trees.
The route continues through the countryside, past thatched cottages and local stone houses, passing Jumièges Abbey and a tithe barn.
You can see the Seine from both banks, but also when crossing it by ferry.
Around Jumièges Abbey between the Seine and orchards
An easy and pleasant walk, best done during cherry season or when the many fruit trees along the route are in bloom. Lovely views of the Abbey and the River Seine.
The Moulin de Pierre and the Brotonne Forest
Discover the Moulin de Pierre in Hauville, open to visitors every Sunday from 2pm to 6pm. In the village, the Church of Saint-Paër or Saint-Paterne is open to the public. A fairly pleasant route, with a little tarmac at the start and end. The route is mainly in the forest, with one fairly steep hill and two others that are much gentler.
Le Hanouard - Oherville - Low water circuit
An 8-shaped circuit that allows you to choose all or part of the route. The first part leads along the Durdent river and the second part follows the Basses Eaux circuit, which is both leisurely and fun and can be enjoyed with young children.
Sarrasins footpath in Condé-sur-Risle
In the Risle Valley in Normandy, a hike alternating between forest, sunken lanes and open plains. Stroll through the Sarrasins valley to discover a fountain lost in the heart of nature. The forest is the dominant feature, with numerous panoramic views. The bocage is very common, with many trees of remarkable size, especially the Chêne à Leude, which has been there since the Middle Ages.
Secret walk to the Fontaine Caillou
Far from the modern world, a small valley hidden between meadows and forest reveals an intimate and authentic Normandy, with magnificent trees, sunken paths, fresh springs, typical thatched cottages and rolling landscapes. This route is not marked, hence its name "secret walk": geolocation is therefore recommended.
Around Mesnil-sous-Jumièges
A short route with varied landscapes: the charming village of Mesnil-sous-Jumièges on the banks of the Seine, then a short detour into the forest, passing near the Manoir d'Agnès Sorel, followed by a walk along the lake opposite the leisure centre, and ending through marshes and orchards along the towpath.
Circular of Mesnil-sous-Jumièges
We begin with a stretch through the forest, crossing the golf course, then we go around the lake and take the marsh path to join the Route du Conihout and then the towpath.
Maniquerville, Gerville and Les Loges circular
The route mainly consists of walking on tarmac, with a short section in the Bois des Loges. From the car park at the start, there is a view of the Château de Maniquerville (now a hotel). At the beginning of the route, visit the small but charming Église Saint-Martin de Maniquerville. In Gerville, the Church of Saint-Michel is closed and cannot be visited. The Church of Notre-Dame in Les Loges is also worth a visit, as is the old "Les Loges/Vaucottes-sur-Mer" railway station, which houses old carriages and locomotives.
Chemin de la Fosse aux Loups from Selles
This very hilly and shaded circuit, between forests and hedgerows, will allow you to discover the Saint-Laurent spring and numerous yew trees. The route follows a well-marked blue PR® trail that you can rely on.
Seine Maritime - From Fécamp to Etretat
Hike from Fécamp to Etretat and its cliffs.
This hike follows theGR®21 trail. It is an easy hike overall, mostly flat and crossing numerous fields, so the trail is not always clearly marked, but you just need to keep your bearings and follow the red and white markings.
However, there is a significant elevation gain due to the "valleuses", natural access points to the sea in this cliff-lined landscape.
Les Fonds d'Étigue and three valleys starting from Yport
The proposed route will introduce you to the cultures of the Pays de Caux and the Terres de la Falaise from the village of Yport (listed site). After a route inland, return to Yport not far from the cliffs from the Vattetot valley via theGR® 21.
La Croix de Marcouville
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.
