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.

Located in the Brotonne Forest, this hike follows easy paths under the fir trees or at the edge of the forest. It is away from any traffic, even though the starting point is close to the Brotonne Bridge. It is therefore a nature outing.

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.

This is a pleasant walk with remarkable views and a good level of physical challenge.

This walk allows you to discover this small village and catch a glimpse of Villequier on the other side 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 start of the walk allows you to discover the town hall of Mont-de-l'If, which was built from an old carousel from a neighbouring farm, and the church.

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.

Part of the hike takes place in urban areas and most of it on the edge of the woods.

Located on the left bank of the Seine, Heurteauville offers an exceptional natural setting, perfect for a peaceful and immersive hike. The village nestles at the foot of the Brotonne Forest, one of the large natural massifs of the Boucles de la Seine Regional Nature Park.

This route winds its way through the Brotonne National Forest along all types of paths. Halfway along the route, in the centre of the village of La Haye-de-Routot, a sheltered picnic area provides a place to take a break between the church, thousand-year-old yew trees and eco-museums.

A walk through the heart of the state-owned forest, shaded and ideal on a hot summer’s day. The walk begins with a superb view over the Seine valley and Jumièges Abbey. The forest is home to many remarkable trees.

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.
