Starting from La Saussaye, the path quickly opens up onto alternating undergrowth and small country lanes. The route allows you to enjoy a peaceful, green rural environment. After a pleasant warm-up, you reach Saint-Germain-de-Pasquier, a charming Norman village known for having the smallest town hall in France: with a surface area of around 8 m² (2.7 metres by 3), it is indeed one of the smallest town halls in France, listed in the Guinness Book of Records. It is housed in the former Sainte-Clotilde chapel, which was deconsecrated at the beginning of the 20th century and converted by a naval architect accustomed to small spaces. A short photo break is a must before continuing on to the Saint-Louis Collegiate Church, a beautiful building whose architecture combines simplicity and elegance.

As you wander through the streets and lanes of La Saussaye, you will discover a number of ponds and learn of their purpose, preserved in the memories of the older generation. Along the way, you will notice beautiful brick houses and find remarkable trees, most of which are linked to the village’s historical periods.

Starting from the Saint-Louis Collegiate Church and passing by the Manoir Saint-Nicolas, in an hour you will discover some remarkable features linked to the history of the village of La Saussaye, including the 14th-century Saint-Louis Collegiate Church. Step through the cloister gate and let yourself be transported back to the Middle Ages. At that time, the square was surrounded by walls and entry was via either the lower gate or the upper gate, the only one remaining today. As you continue, you’ll discover some of La Saussaye’s hidden gems, such as the Saint-Louis Collegiate Church, the bell-ringer’s house, the Clos Saint-Nicolas where André Maurois lived from 1919 to 1926, and the Pommeraie, another beautiful residence with its pond and French garden.

L'Oison was formerly known as Le Bec, Le Becquet (from the Norse bekkr meaning stream), but also Le Dué or Douet (from the Celtic four meaning running water). Discover beautiful Norman houses as well as around twenty species of wild orchids growing in the valley, which is classified as a natural area of faunistic and floristic interest. The Fontaine Sainte-Clothilde, a miraculous spring, was for a long time a popular place of pilgrimage for the healing of all kinds of ailments. It is said that it gave strength to children who were slow to walk, who were then immersed in the very cold water of the spring.

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.

Between village, forest and plain, discover Vraiville: its pretty pond, its three wayside shrines and the beautiful stained-glass windows of its church.

This walk offers you the chance to explore this remarkable forest heritage, breathe in the fresh air of the undergrowth and enjoy the tranquillity of a preserved environment. Whether you are a nature lover, a regular walker or simply curious, the Bois de la Hérangère will surprise you with its diversity and peaceful atmosphere.

This walk consists of 70% forest walking or small footpaths. There are a few sections on roads which can be dangerous, particularly the final stretch near Valanglier. It begins with a view of Elbeuf and the Seine valley and ends with a view of the small Oison valley. There are no signposts.

A lovely circular route between valleys and plateaus, passing by the Château du Champ de Bataille.

Located on the outskirts of Rouen, the La Londe-Rouvray forest is a true natural gem, with majestic beech forests, winding paths and bright clearings. Ranked among the largest state-owned forests in Normandy, it invites you to escape and discover varied landscapes, shaped by the seasons and history. Following the GPX track can be useful in the forest.

In the Londe forest, three former clay pits have now become three ponds. Known since Gallo-Roman times, the Terre à Pots site was only exploited from the 16th century until 1870. This clay was notably used to make the white earthenware tiles for the first stations of the Paris Metro. This easy forest walk offers the chance to discover a little-known quarry site.
