Normandy Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

This bike path, about 1.50m wide, flush with heavy goods vehicles on the bridge and with the usual wind ... The officials who did that are real criminals.

It goes about 1km uphill at a constant 6%, and on the other side about 1km downhill at 6%. And the architecture of the bridge is impressive, the view in good weather great. But the cycle path is simply dangerous. I was very surprised that there is a cycle path, because it is perhaps only 1-1.2m wide, and is only separated from the car and truck traffic, which rushes past at 80-90 km/h, by a white line on the asphalt. Certainly no cycling pleasure. And given the quite strong winds that can make you swerve, it is also not entirely harmless. There is also an almost equally narrow footpath next to it, but it is separated from the roadway by a curb (at least). The crossing of the bridge would certainly be a highlight of any bike tour, but the incredibly narrow strip next to the fast-flowing traffic does not make it a real pleasure.

The bridge is passable on the cycle lane but I strongly recommend riding on the pedestrian section to avoid overtaking at high speed on the climb.

There is an existing cycle path, but there is only a white line separating vehicles at 90 km/h. Danger.

Not exactly a good idea in terms of driving technique - a narrow, divided footpath and cycle path, but separated from the car lane by a curb. Trucks generate a noticeable suction. You may have to push if there is a strong crosswind. But you get across the wide Seine estuary and have a great view!

It turns out that there is no separate lane for bicycles, as we had expected! There is a narrow footpath separated by a low concrete threshold, on which we push the bikes. Riding on both the road and the narrow footpath seems too dangerous or even forbidden. It is exciting to walk over the 2km long bridge in a strong westerly wind!

Beautiful view of the Marais Vernier natural site. I had, when I was 18, the honor and the pleasure of working there in the company of several biologists. It is an exceptional site due to the richness of its fauna. On site live Camargue horses, Hyland cattle, Scottish sheep, gray herons and many other species. A few group visits are regularly organised. To participate, you must register in advance on the Marais Vernier nature reserve website.

You may be able to spot rare birds like osprey, heron, falcon or stork. The Marais Vernier is a natural wonder that offers a variety of landscapes and terrains for runners.
