To the gateway to the Forêt Verte via Fond du Val
This introductory loop hike takes in the western slopes of Rouen (Fond du Val - Le Cotillet) as far as the Portes de la Forêt Verte small park. The route is largely an out-and-back, so you can shorten the walk if you need to, depending on your physical abilities.
Churches without bell towers in Rouen
With a nod to Victor Hugo, who referred to the city as the city of a hundred bell towers, the theme of this urban walk is churches and chapels without bell towers. These are the remains of churches that have suffered the ravages of history and urbanisation, as well as churches and chapels that have been deconsecrated and converted to other uses or are awaiting decisions on their fate. A few buildings still used for worship are exceptions, but they are well worth a visit. An opportunity to (re)discover this beautiful city

Be careful on the few fairly steep climbs and descents and on some paths that can be very muddy in wet weather (this is Normandy, after all!).

Cet arbre remarquable est assurément l'un des plus beaux (si ce n'est le plus beau) de toute la région.
