I only rode the part between Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamps, as before this there is a 20km ride on shared roads, and I don't like these so much on my longboard. The part I rode is superb, be it for the landscape, the vilages, the tarmac and the rest areas with tables, benches, apple trees. I loved it and will be back.

Rode it on a longboard from Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamp. Nice tarmac, quiet, not a lot of people, a lot of rest areas with table, benches, and apple trees. Superb landscapes. I loved it and will come back. What is also interesting for training is that it is never flat, with uphills that can go for 4 or 5 km, but those are around 2%, so doable. Good for inline rollers, quads, longboards.

The park isn't exactly top-notch, but you can see that someone is trying not to let everything fall into disrepair. A castle like this can also be a heavy burden.

A flax route in the truest sense of the word. I've never seen so many flax fields as here in Normandy. Here's an excerpt from the France.fr website: https://www.france.fr/de/artikel/leinen-normandie-nachhaltig/ Flax flowers are not only beautiful to look at, but their cultivation is also very interesting. The world's leading flax-growing region of Upper Normandy has brought new fame to this environmentally friendly fiber, which long suffered from competition from cotton. The Normandy flax fields stretch from the cliffs of the Pays de Caux to the meadows of the Eure department. The versatile uses of their fiber range from household linens to personal care products to culinary specialties. Discover the green gold of Normandy!

Things get a bit more touristy here – but still pleasant. The water is crystal clear.
