a small flea market but with lots of items

GOOD …

A small village to absolutely discover

I thought that the ruins were freely accessible. They are not, but are cordoned off. Tour costs €8.50 from 1.30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Right next to the lobby there is a bakery. They are used to welcoming cyclists. Everything is homemade, they are very nice. Table and chairs outside sheltered for eating. I've been there twice, never disappointed.

Mortemer Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery founded in the 12th century by King Henry I of England. The abbey is located in the heart of Lyons Forest, a beautiful beech forest offering numerous hiking and cycling trails. You can also fish in the abbey's ponds by reservation. Mortemer Abbey is a place steeped in history, nature, and mystery that is sure to enchant you.

Current natural border between Île-de-France and Normandy, Epte is also a historical border. Indeed, in the Middle Ages, it was the boundary between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Normandy. This is why it had a large number of fortifications. Here, precisely in Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, the treaty was signed in 911 between Charles III the Simple and Rollo, Viking leader, aimed at establishing the Normans in Neustria in order to protect the kingdom of Charles III from their incursions by sea This treaty gave birth to the Duchy of Normandy.

Nice place to stop and appreciate the rolling fields and stunning views.
