Saint-Wandrille-Rançon walks

Shaded hike in the Brotonne Forest. Views of the Seine and Saint-Wandrille Abbey.

This is a very varied walk, with a variety of landscapes including forest, marshland and plains. The terrain includes trails, towpaths, paths, small roads and places of interest such as an abbey, a collegiate church, a church, hamlets, a village and a market town.

A circuit between forests, marshes and towpaths along the Seine. If you'd like to, don't hesitate to visit Brigitte, who collects lions and tigers (safely of course!).

A route for children, on country roads and through fields. I did this route with my three grandchildren, aged 3 and 8, for fun and to help them learn how to use a map.

This hike allows you to see the Victor Hugo Museum on the banks of the Seine, the Château de Villequier and, above all, beautiful views of the Seine.

A lovely walk in the Saint-Arnoult forest, a little-known forest with many paths. It suffers from its proximity to the much larger Trait-Maulévrier forest, but it is worth getting to know with its hamlets and houses that are a little remote but full of charm

The route runs alongside the Seine twice, overlooks it at another point, crosses the village and loops back through the forest. All types of terrain: 2.5 km of quiet asphalt road in three sections, forest tracks and small paths.

Hike in the Jumièges region, known for its many fruit tree plantations. In spring, these blossoming trees line the route, which also veers into the forest to visit a tiny chapel nestled among the trees. The route continues through the countryside, past thatched cottages and local stone houses, passing Jumièges Abbey and a tithe barn. You can see the Seine from both banks, but also when crossing it by ferry.

This route consists mainly of paths along the edge of woods that wind their way past a few isolated houses. The Saint-Arnoult forest is less well known than its neighbour, the Trait-Maulévrier forest, but is well worth a visit.

An easy and pleasant walk, best done during cherry season or when the many fruit trees along the route are in bloom. Lovely views of the Abbey and the River Seine.

A circuit through plains and undergrowth in the heart of Caux passing through the charming hamlet of Veraval.

A short route with varied landscapes: the charming village of Mesnil-sous-Jumièges on the banks of the Seine, then a short detour into the forest, passing near the Manoir d'Agnès Sorel, followed by a walk along the lake opposite the leisure centre, and ending through marshes and orchards along the towpath.

We begin with a stretch through the forest, crossing the golf course, then we go around the lake and take the marsh path to join the Route du Conihout and then the towpath.

Discover the Moulin de Pierre in Hauville, open to visitors every Sunday from 2pm to 6pm. In the village, the Church of Saint-Paër or Saint-Paterne is open to the public. A fairly pleasant route, with a little tarmac at the start and end. The route is mainly in the forest, with one fairly steep hill and two others that are much gentler.

Vieux-Port is the smallest commune in the Eure department. It has preserved the characteristic houses of eastern Normandy, half-timbered farmhouses with cob walls and thatched roofs. It is a popular stopover for boaters sailing on the Seine. The hike crosses the village, but also beautiful forests and typical Norman hamlets, and offers beautiful views of the Seine.

Rocquefort, a rural village in the heart of the Pays de Caux, with its castle, the sources of the Durdent in Héricourt-en-Caux, and the Vert Buisson, all accessible via country lanes and woodland paths.

Walking tour on little-used roads, paths and trails that cross the village and the marshes, run alongside the Seine, and criss-cross the plain and the forest.
