Tips from the Community
Château Gaillard is a medieval military masterpiece. Richard the Lionheart had it built on a chalk cliff, high above a large bend in the Seine. The castle is now a ruin, but two villages at the foot of the castle now form Les Andelys together, one of the most beautiful places in France.

Between the Seine and the hills of Vexin, Vernon reveals a beautiful heritage. Don't miss its old hanging mill, its fortified castle, and the Blanche Hoschedé-Monet Museum, which takes you on a journey through the history of Impressionism.

Located on the banks of the Eure River, the small village of Croisy-sur-Eure is ideal for a break. The village is divided into two parts. It houses a castle, a church, and old stones with authentic charm. As a side note, this is where the famous Boursin cheese is produced, founded by François Boursin in 1957.

The path is brand new and wonderful to cycle on. Shortly after leaving the town, there was a delicious coffee in a "beer garden".
