45km of calm and safety on a path on a false flat uphill not too demanding the first 10 km. The ground surface is of good quality on the majority of the route even if at the end it looks more like gravel with dead leaves and branches on the ground. Very beautiful portion to connect Paris to Deauville

Very beautiful long cycle path in the Eure. Well paved and very pleasant, far from any road traffic.

The town of Goms is rather pretty, too bad it is populated by inbreds

In the Gothic style of the 15th century, this church stands out above all for its two unfinished towers which make it unique.

In the wood of Saint-Michel, the greenway from Évreux to the Bec valley joins the GR 26 to offer a lovely asphalted section in the middle of the trees.

Built at the end of the 11th century by Roger III de Tosny, Lord of Conches. The thickness of the walls is 2.60m. The walls and window embrasures were coated with a layer of mortar mixed with lime and fine sand in order to give a more noble appearance to this flint construction. On the ground floor: it was the food reserve, there were no windows. 1st floor: A central well was used to supply the Château with drinking water. It was emptied in 1849. A fireplace was in each room. It was around 1417, when Conches was in English hands, that the defensive power of the keep was increased under the orders of Captal de Buch. He built an additional tower with the particularity of starting on a square base. Main seats of the castle: 1093: War of the Beautiful Ladies (fight between the Lords of Tosny and the Lords of Breteuil, Beaumont and Evreux) 1199: Philippe Auguste is king of France and he makes the domain of Conches available to his cousin Robert de Courtenay in 1202. 1364: first English occupation. 1371: 100 years war, Bertrand Dugesclin, captain of King Charles V, seizes Conches. 1420: Conquest of Normandy by the English, Henry V, King of England seizes Conches. The castle was taken over in 1440 by Charles VII, King of France. 1441: New English occupation. 1449: The French under the command of Robert de Floques, bailiff of Evreux storm the town of Conches.

In our youth 🤣 there was a cyclo-cross with the ascent of the dungeon 😋 where we did our "classes" in this discipline 🚴😀

Very enjoyable but a bit monotonous
