ホーヴィルのおすすめツーリングルート

When we encounter the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people outside Great Britain probably think involuntarily of the time of Christ, some two thousand years back. This is because one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the Gospels, he is known as "Didymos," which means "twin" in Greek. In this case, however, the chosen patronage refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118–1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his episcopal see and martyrdom. Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually—via the komoot system at the following link: =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/231266

The 3 bridges between Le Havre and Rouen (Normandy, Tancarville and Brotonne (the latter quite dangerous for bicycles) are very high because they have to allow passage of large tonnage boats intended to supply Paris, the Seine being an important component. These boats are then unloaded in Rouen onto smaller tonnage boats which go to Paris. This system of ferries, surprisingly free, is therefore there to compensate for this lack of possible crossings. Do not hesitate to use them, it is really a very nice plus.

There are plenty of free ferries for both bikes and cars. They run quickly and the boatmen are friendly. I think there are eight ferries in total. ☺

Beautiful walk that gives a good and beautiful impression of nature and its inhabitants

My wife didn't feel like cycling up this high and long bridge. So we took the ferry across the Seine at Jumièges – it was great!

To avoid the extremely high bridges over the Seine, we chose the ferry. We enjoyed the crossing – completely uncomplicated and pleasant. I took photos of the departure times.

It would be interesting to know how this blast furnace came into the garden

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
