Great cycle path. Perfect surface, generous width and no cars. Even though the route "only" goes straight, it's fun to ride.

It goes uphill for about 1km at a constant 6%, and downhill for about 1km at 6% on the other side. And the architecture of the bridge is impressive, the view in good weather is magnificent. I was very surprised that there is a bike lane, because it is perhaps 1~1.2m wide, and separated from car and truck traffic, which rushes by at 80~90 km/h, only by a white line on the asphalt. Certainly no cycling pleasure. And with the quite strong winds that can make you swerve, it's not entirely safe either. There is also an almost equally narrow footpath next to it, but it is separated from the roadway by a curb (at least). Crossing the bridge is (would be) certainly a highlight of any bike tour, but the incredibly narrow strip next to the fast-flowing traffic makes it no real pleasure.

The village is particularly known for its cheese of monastic origin. Pont-l'Évêque is a soft cheese with a washed or brushed rind, square in shape to distinguish it from other cheeses at the time. But if you visit, you'll see that the village's character also lies in its narrow streets, its half-timbered houses, and its integration with nature along the stream that runs through it.

A port for numerous boats and a home port for many artists, the port of Honfleur is synonymous with Impressionism. It is also a place steeped in history, local produce, and traditions. Cyclists, stop and explore the surrounding area.
