beautiful viaduct, well hidden by the vegetation but which is unmissable when you pass by

Remarkable place steeped in history: Bec Hélouin Abbey provided three Archbishops of Canterbury!

I loved it, it's a shame that once we got to 500m from the ferry we had to make a big detour by road to take the Quellebeuf ferry to get to Pont Audemer... but I'd do it again

The bridge itself is magnificent and it is also the only one in the region with a large cycle path and light traffic.

I've safely crossed the bike-tractor lane in the center of the road several times in both directions. I'm prone to vertigo, however, so I don't hesitate to cross it. (5 minutes for 2 km) However, in even moderately windy weather, I absolutely avoid it. The view is magnificent from every angle, both from the top and the side. On the other hand, my wife crosses it without any problem and appreciates the width of the very wide bike path (2.50 m), which is much safer than the Tancarville Bridge or the Normandy Bridge. (The path is almost nonexistent and strongly discouraged on this bridge: take the bus to cross it!)
