On the circuit "Château Gaillard - Château de Gaillon Circuit from Gaillon - Aubevoye" I do not recommend the Caer/St Vigor part because the traffic there is dangerous for cyclists. Preferably use the small parallel roads.
Good road.

Located on the banks of the Iton, the castle was built in 1775, in the neoclassical style characteristic of this period. The cut stone facades have retained their monumentality (basement, noble floors and attic), reinforced by the austerity of the few decorative elements (pediment, cornices). The facades and roofs of the four buildings on the farm were listed in the MH in 1977, the castle, the so-called chalet house, the stables and sheds as well as the cellar located in the commune of Acquigny were listed in 1994 in the MH.

This castle is ideally placed at the confluence of the Eure and the Iton rivers. This stream was diverted from its bed to feed the moats of this beautiful building. It can be admired from the park gate.

The Château de Houetteville, a private castle visible from the road, is an old Renaissance castle transformed into a neo-medieval castle by Henri Jacquelin around the 1930s. “Jacquelin again transformed a simple neo-classical house in Houetteville into a medieval castle, with astonishing fantasy. In an economically paralyzed country, Houetteville was perhaps the last neo-Gothic castle in France. Extravagant edifice, which prefers to ignore its time to artificially continue a way of life long gone.”
