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 cathedral, which is mainly late Gothic, is made entirely of limestone. Inside the three-aisled building with a transept, the wall elevation is three storeys high, with the triforium in the nave, framed by cranked cornices, designed as a walkway, but in the choir - which is surrounded by a ring of chapels - it is lighted through. The arcades of the nave still show late Romanesque round arches.

In the wood of Saint-Michel, the greenway from Évreux to the Bec valley joins the GR 26 to offer a lovely asphalted section in the middle of the trees.
