This enjoyable route, which I have taken many times, is always pleasant.
Some sections are very muddy due to the flat, marshy terrain. So waterproof footwear is recommended!
No difficulty to remember.
Plan to learn about the history of the graffiti on the church. This could be the starting point for a "historical" treasure hunt for teenagers.

A pleasant hike without much variety in the landscape or elevation.
We saw two storks and some swans, which are more common.

Thank you for this tour. Easy, well-maintained paths. Don't miss visiting the cemetery where three British soldiers killed in 1944 are buried, and look for the 16th-century graffiti and drawings on the walls of Saint Martin's Church. An easy, straightforward route along the Seine with beautiful views of the right bank. There's a nice little bar in Vatteville la Rue next to the new hikers' rest stop currently under construction.

Hello,
One small criticism: there are no signs indicating the street leading to the schools at the end of the road, or when turning onto Chemin de la Bréche. Perhaps you could ask the local authorities about this.
Otherwise, it was very good, thank you.

A very good route between the Seine and the forest. Please note that approximately 3.5 kilometres from the start of the towpath along the Seine, electrical wires have fallen to the ground over a distance of about 50 metres. Barrier tape has been put up to warn of the danger, but please be careful!

Lovely sunshine, silence broken only by birdsong... Ideal duration 3 hours, no difficulty, bear in mind that the ground may be very wet...
Well done for publishing this route!
