Pleasant hike.
The description is accurate.
Sometimes the street names aren't very helpful because there aren't any signs indicating the name in question.
But with the map, it's easy enough to find your way around.
A short hike that makes you want to come back to Auvers.

So get your playlist ready, featuring film scores or experimental music by Michel Magne, composer of, amongst others, *Les Tontons Flingueurs*, *Fantomas*, *Tout le monde il est beau* and *Tout le monde il est gentil*. You’ll also find tracks recorded at this venue, described by David Bowie to Iggy Pop as the world’s greatest recording studio at the time. It saw the creation of three of Elton John’s best albums, two Bowie albums, the Bee Gees’ massive hit Saturday Night Fever, as well as albums by Johnny Hallyday, Jacques Higelin and many others – all on their way to the Château d’Hérouville. Let’s rock.
