Tips from the Community
I only rode the part between Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamps, as before this there is a 20km ride on shared roads, and I don't like these so much on my longboard. The part I rode is superb, be it for the landscape, the vilages, the tarmac and the rest areas with tables, benches, apple trees. I loved it and will be back.

Rode it on a longboard from Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamp. Nice tarmac, quiet, not a lot of people, a lot of rest areas with table, benches, and apple trees. Superb landscapes. I loved it and will come back. What is also interesting for training is that it is never flat, with uphills that can go for 4 or 5 km, but those are around 2%, so doable. Good for inline rollers, quads, longboards.

A mixture of flowers, probably less selective weedkiller: we find nature again.

A stone's throw from the cliffs and the seaside resort of Veulettes-sur-Mer, this bed and breakfast welcomes you in a superb traditional Norman house. You can relax in the garden and enjoy the many amenities: wifi, equipped kitchen, washing machine (practical if you are traveling for several days).

A small detour from the cycle path that is worth it. The cafe is opposite the town hall. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, tasty little dishes with a twist.

It's nice to cycle through the village and look at the different houses.

As Austrian cyclists, we were particularly surprised to discover that Empress Elisabeth also enjoyed the fresh air of Normandy here in 1875! We can well understand this when we look at the castle and the beautiful landscape!
