Le Vieux-Moulin

Highlight • Other

The Old Mill was built on the remains of a medieval arched bridge. The bridge dates back to the 12th century, but the mill was added in the 16th century. It is the last remaining remnant of the ancient mills built on bridges in the region. This one served as a subject for the famous Impressionist painter Claude Monet.

Tourelles Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château des Tourelles has a typical history of a medieval building. Its construction began in the 13th century, but it was not completed until the 18th century. Its impressive turrets justify the name of the castle. Listed as a Historic Monument, it is located a few steps from the old mill, another point of great interest in Vernon.

Banks of the Seine at Vétheuil

Highlight • River

The tranquility of the banks of the Seine. At Vétheuil, a few islands slow down the course of the river. The small streets go back to the heart of the village and its beautiful church. Claude Monet lived in Vétheuil before acquiring Giverny. From Vétheuil you can walk along the meanders of the river and for the more courageous, going up the hillsides, see the white cliffs on the banks of the Seine and the meanders of the river in a row.

La Roche-Guyon Castle and Keep

Highlight • Castle

Pretty village located below the slopes of the Vexin plateau on the bank of the Seine. Its castle, property of La Rochefoucauld, dominated by a medieval keep, and the arboretum are worth a visit.

La Roche-Guyon Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of La Roche-Guyon impresses the adventurers passing through Vexin. It dates from the Middle Ages and since its construction, each century has left its mark.

As its name suggests, the castle leans against chalk. This creates a beautiful dialogue between the building and its environment. Is this the way art finds beauty in nature?

View of Château-Gaillard

Highlight • Rest Area

Château Gaillard was built in the late 12th century by Richard the Lionheart, then King of England and Duke of Normandy. It was partially destroyed in 1600 by Henry IV to prevent armed bands from taking refuge there. Now in ruins, the building remains impressive and is worth a visit if you're passing by. You can even see it from the bridge spanning the Seine.
