Tips from the Community
The 3 bridges between Le Havre and Rouen (Normandy, Tancarville and Brotonne (the latter quite dangerous for bicycles) are very high because they have to allow passage of large tonnage boats intended to supply Paris, the Seine being an important component. These boats are then unloaded in Rouen onto smaller tonnage boats which go to Paris. This system of ferries, surprisingly free, is therefore there to compensate for this lack of possible crossings. Do not hesitate to use them, it is really a very nice plus.

Pretty little town with half-timbered houses.

There are plenty of free ferries for both bikes and cars. They run quickly and the boatmen are friendly. I think there are eight ferries in total. ☺

To avoid the extremely high bridges over the Seine, we chose the ferry. We enjoyed the crossing – completely uncomplicated and pleasant. I took photos of the departure times.

The Grand'Mare observatory (free) has been renovated and rebuilt for a few months after two years of work. It's a magnificent view of the birds returning en masse, and luckily, the horses roaming free. Pure bliss.

Rouen is the capital of the Normandy region in northern France. The port city on the Seine played an important role under Roman rule and in the Middle Ages and has Gothic churches such as Saint-Maclou and Saint-Ouen. Medieval half-timbered buildings have been preserved in the cobbled pedestrian zone. The cityscape is dominated by the towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral, which the impressionist artist Claude Monet immortalized in numerous paintings.
