Hello
I didn’t read the comments before doing this route, so it’s out of date in several respects.
A bit of a nightmare!!!
Perhaps it should be removed from your suggestions.
Thanks for all the other routes that are well worth a visit.
Kind regards

Hello
Thanks for sharing
Nice walk, with the first half being the best. The second half is a bit monotonous, but it’s hard to find walks in the Pays de Caux that don’t go through fields!
After point 5, I couldn’t find the path to the right after the Saane. There were some buildings. I carried on straight towards the roundabout, then took the first right, and quickly found the route again.
After point 7, I followed the advice below by going to the roundabout (the second time on the walk that I had to follow a main road…) then right and immediately left onto the small road towards Flainville.
Then rejoined the route at the 43m elevation point. You can actually see along the barbed-wire fence running alongside the field that there is no longer a path.
Hike shortened by 1 km
Then a long, monotonous straight stretch along a path through tall grass.
Follow the GPS route, no problem

Route from point 2 to 8.
Pleasant, shaded scenery along the Säane.
It’s a shame that at point 7, after crossing the fields, I took the main Dieppe road (D925), which was very dangerous as there was no hard shoulder, so I had to walk on the road. I then took a path on the right which is private (hunting ground, no sign) and the path leading to point 8 no longer exists. I still managed to reach the small road leading to Flainville.
I’d advise you, from point 7, to take this small road from Longueil straight to the village of Flainville (2 km). Another path at point 8 no longer exists.
It would be good to update the map: the hunting ground has been off-limits since 2015 or earlier.
A lovely walk overall.

The route was cut short by another set of signposts for walk no. 12, which meant that at some point we must have taken a wrong turn on the original route (near Longueil) and ended up following walk no. 12 to the finish.
There is no coloured signposting for the original route.
We still enjoyed it thoroughly and had a lovely day.

A lovely walk taking in the sea, hedgerows and farmland...

On part of the route through agricultural areas, you’ll need to walk along the edge of the fields as there are no paths, or the paths have been removed by hunters...

A lovely walk through varied countryside
To reach Blainville, we did take the forbidden path through the fields, following the fences whilst taking care to respect the conservation area designated by the hunters: we were outside the hunting season

So, after point 7, should we stay on the D925 all the way to Bourg Dun and then turn right onto the small road that joins the original route further on?
Is that correct?
Kind regards

Hello,

Walk taken on 3 August 2017.
The path leading to Flainville (signpost number 7) is now closed at all times and blocked for a good cause: an ecological development project by our friends the hunters. So, with no signposts whatsoever to indicate the end of the hiking trail, we had to head back onto the A925, a road heavily used by motorists and lacking any pedestrian facilities:!(!)!(!)!:
It’s a shame, because before these changes, the route’s creator took us on a beautiful walk with lots of very interesting spots. On any walk, we’re at the mercy of inevitable changes, and this forum is useful because it helps us avoid minor inconveniences and highlights the many merits of the suggested routes.

Happy hiking to all.

Thank you for your feedback; I’ve just added the waypoints, which will make it easier to follow the description.
Kind regards

1) The description is too incomplete (no numbered waypoints), which leaves room for all sorts of interpretations
2) The map route remains the most accurate feature of this walk, but be warned: some paths are off-limits and others no longer exist, particularly after the tricky stretch on the D925; the path after the small wood is closed to all by the owner, and the route has been cut off for several years as the Val Roze path is now a drainage channel reserved for heavy rain. We rejoin a path at the entrance to Flainville, which then becomes the GR21; we followed this out of caution all the way to QUIBERVILLE for the return journey
3) It’s a shame there’s this stretch of the D925, because the rest of the landscape is very varied and interesting. The walk through the village of Quiberville, the path along the Saane and the return via FLAINVILLE.
4) It is possible to avoid the D925, but the section through FLAINVILLE will be cut short, which is a real shame
5) Don’t forget the bread oven and St Julien’s Chapel in FLAINVILLE
6) Thanks to the farmer who put us back on the path to FLAINVILLE

A leisurely walk with no particular difficulties. A varied landscape: seaside, riverside and countryside. Very pretty villages and hamlets with farms and properties typical of the region, generally in very good condition. Please note: during the hunting season, the path leading to Flainville is closed to all traffic, including pedestrians, which means an extra 2 km along the main road after an already rather long 1 km . We therefore went through the fields (I know it’s not right) but kept to the fences to respect the farmers’ work.
