EGLISE NOTRE-DAME-DES-ARTS Founded in the 16th century, the church is richly decorated, with splendid stained glass windows on the south side, dating to the 17th century, including a renowned original work by Martin Vérel depicting boats being towed (1605). The stalls from Bonport Abbey, the great organ, a gift from Henri IV, and a baroque, 17th century altar all further contribute to the richness of the building.

Located along the banks of the Andelle River, the Levavasseur spinning mill, nicknamed the "industrial cathedral," is a 19th-century factory in the neo-Gothic style. It is the subject of a conservation project to reveal its unique history and offer the public a place for walking, contemplation, and interpretation.

One of the best known 76 hills 3.6KM at 4%, a beautiful memory of Jacques Anquetil with his stele, I rode it by bike with its many magnificent turns to repeat.
