Via Mirville from Beuzeville-la-Grenier

A Beuzeville-la-Grenier anthology, ‘Une minute d’arrêt’, recounts the town’s history over the past 150 years; for example, it lists the occupations of the people of Beuzeville, where all residents who did not declare a profession were considered weavers, as there was a loom in almost every house.

Description of the walk

Bruno Legros Sports Hall, car-sharing car park

(S/E) Leave the car park via the road, heading north. Turn right onto Route du Calvaire.
After 50 m, continue right onto Route du Carreau for 20 m and turn right onto Chemin des Écoliers.
A few metres further on, turn left into the Résidence des Pommiers and walk past the Mille Club.

(1) Opposite the church, turn left and immediately turn right onto Route de Mirville for 900 m until you reach the crossroads. At the stop sign, continue straight on along Route de Mirville until you reach another crossroads.

(2) Turn left onto the grassy path. You will reach the Route du Petit Bois; follow it to the right. At the next junction, continue straight on along Rue des Ponts. Cross the two railway bridges.

(3) At the end of the road, turn right onto Rue de la Vieville. Pass under the Fécamp railway line and reach a road junction near the charming little church of Mirville.

(4) Turn right at the bus stop. After the brick viaduct, turn left towards Bernières. After 100 m, turn right towards Nointot.

(5) At the junction with the C3, turn right to cross the level crossing. (Read the safety sign on the automatic barriers of the railway line).
At the top of the road, facing the large gate, continue left and, further on, reach the junction you passed on the way there.

(2) Turn left onto Route de Vieville. Continue right onto Chemin du Barrois.

(6) Cross the D910 and, at the no-entry sign, continue straight ahead. Go round the community hall to reach the sports hall car park (S/E).

Worth a visit

On Rue des Ponts, you can see three railway lines: the one heading towards Paris, then the track branching off to the right towards Notre-Dame de Gravenchon and to the left towards Fécamp.
A short detour to the little church at Mirville: at the back of the cemetery, a small door allowed Pierre de Coubertin to go directly to his castle and the village church.
At the start of the C3, you’ll need to look very closely to spot a typo on the safety instructions sign at the level crossing.

90% of the roads are local roads. They’re fine when it’s rained. The track section is in good condition

Just a loop along the road. Not much to see apart from the viaduct.

Thank you to the authors for the very detailed description of the route.
The railway aspect is interesting, as is Mirville.
The big downside is the tarmac… it’s almost all road*
There are lots of dogs on the properties lining the road that bark at you (especially before the 5 km mark), which is a nuisance.

The route was very well signposted (except perhaps for the grassy path on the left at No. 2); the mention of a three-way junction confused us, but we retraced our steps.
A lovely route through the Normandy countryside
