Avenue Verte: Neufchâtel-en-Bray to Dieppe Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Allows you to travel from Dieppe to Forges-les-Eaux on the old railway line, and away from cars. There are regularly picnic tables or benches.
However quite monotonous in terms of diversity of landscape or difficulty (long straight and fairly flat).

Old English telephone booth

Highlight • Structure

This red phone booth is a unique and charming place to visit. It is located near the town hall and has been transformed into a book exchange by a group of young volunteers. You can flip through the books, pick up the one you're interested in and leave the one you've finished reading. It's a good way to share your passion for literature with other hikers and locals. You can also enjoy the view of the Château d'Arques-la-Bataille, a medieval fortress which dominates the town and the Arques valley. The castle was the scene of several historic battles, including the famous Battle of Arques in 1589, in which Henry IV defeated the Catholic League.

Lovely little green by the lake with ducks with a beautiful view onto a hillside castle. There was a little stand with cold drinks and snacks there when we rode with our kids.

Saint-Gervais–Saint-Protais Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Priory Saint-Ouen was founded around 1066 by Hugues de Chaumont, who gave the priory to the monastery Marmoutier. Over time, the Franciscans (ordo fratrum minorum recollectorum), the Trinitarian Order and the Ursulines had branches in Gisors. [

Around 1095, the Duke of Normandy and King of England William II (Guillaume II le Roux) built an octagonal donjon to defend the borders. The castle Gisors was one of the numerous border patrols such as Dangu, Château -sur-Epte, Ecos, Baudemont and Gasny along the Norman Epte shore. On the French side lay the castles of Boury-en-Vexin, Saint-Clair-sur-Epte and La-Roche-Guyon. Gisors was the most important border fort in the north of the Norman Vexin. [6]

Due to its location, the town played several roles in the 12th Century in the signing of peace treaties between the King of France and the King of England, who was also the Duke of Normandy.

Castle ruin Gisors
In a field between Gisors and Courcelles on September 28, 1198 a battle between the English king Richard the Lionheart and the French king Philip II took place. Philip II (1165-1223) did not use the old, octagonal donjon, but had a new, circular donjon built, called the Tour du prisonnier ("prisoner's tower"), because a prisoner was there at the time of the Huguenot wars (1562- 1598) has carved numerous reliefs in the walls of his cell.

Gisors was converted several times into a Comté or a Duché. At the beginning of the 14th century was the heyday of Gisors. Tanneries and weaving mills of the city led to economic growth. Gisors was the seat of one of the seven major Bailliages of Normandy and seat of a Vicomté.
