Passage under this beautiful viaduct. Not far from the chapel of Saint Hélier, where you can find benches and a nice space to stop, regroup and refuel.

Magnificent oak in the Seine-Maritime department whose exact age is not known, but which is estimated at 1200 years old, which would make it the oldest oak in France. This tree is worth the detour and is a very pleasant place to rest for a few moments.
