マニャンヴィル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A lovely spot for a picnic. There's even a crêpe vendor. You can cross the Seine by ferry. Bicycles are welcome. Check in advance for opening and closing dates.

This section parallel to the Seine cycle route is not very smooth. The large number of holes are filled with ballast (large stones) from the SNCF tracks. Without suspension it hurts :D

This gas-fired Edf power station has been closed for several years; however, these two immense chimneys, which I hope will remain as a testimony to a certain era, have the major interest of being visible from dozens of kilometers around and are for me an excellent landmark to locate myself during my bike rides.

The Porcheville thermal power plant is a former power plant, its final shutdown having taken place on May 1, 2017. It is located in Porcheville in the Yvelines (France) on the banks of the Seine, about fifty kilometers northwest of Paris. It was operated by EDF. The two chimneys of the plant are 220 meters high to evacuate their fumes well above the 70 m cliff facing the site on the left bank of the Seine.

Attention lunch break from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. FYI, it takes 1 hour to make the detour via Bonnières.

Pier to cross the Seine on the Catarina, the ferry that connects Vétheuil and Moisson-Lavacourt. A little hidden behind the trees. It's quite fun to do and the short break on the boat offers the best view of the village of Vétheuil. The ferry is in service from April to October, on weekends and public holidays, and on Friday mornings for access to the Vétheuil market. Free passage (12 people per crossing – dogs, bicycles and strollers accepted) Schedule : Friday: 10 a.m.– 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and public holidays: 10:30 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. – 6:20 p.m. Interruption of service between 4:30 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. In October, end at 6 p.m.

Notre-Dame Church is a Catholic parish church located in Vetheuil, in Val-d'Oise. By its size, its double side plan and its particularly rich and varied furniture, it stands out from the village churches of French Vexin, because Vétheuil was a town of some importance in the Middle Ages. By its architecture, and in particular its apse of primitive Gothic style and its two Renaissance portals, the Notre-Dame church occupies a special place among the religious architecture of religion. Its heritage value was recognized early on, and it was classified as a historic monument by the 1840 list [2]. The origins of the parish and the church are not known, but we know of a first mention of the end of the eleventh century, and remains of a Romanesque steeple from the first half of the twelfth century still remain inside the current bell tower. Towards the end of the twelfth century, the construction of a new choir was launched, and it was completed at the very beginning of the thirteenth century. The bell tower was rebuilt in the Gothic style during the same century. It is impossible to comment on the nave of this period. The western parts that we see today date exclusively from the first half of the sixteenth century, and are in the Flamboyant Gothic style. The narrowness of the vessel is controlled by the distance between the stacks of the bell tower, and may also be explained by the reuse of the foundations of the old nave. The narrowness is compensated by the addition of wide and high side aisles, and a row of chapels forming a second side aisle on each side. In 1551, the local lord called on the master mason of Italian origin Jean Grappin, who erected a sumptuous southern portal protected by a porch, then a western facade flanked by two turrets. These works evoke the Italian Renaissance, and are of exceptional quality. Unlike other religious monuments in the region, the Notre-Dame church has always benefited from the restoration and maintenance work necessary for its good conservation, and it is in good condition. Vétheuil is no longer an independent parish and no longer has a resident priest, but Sunday Masses are still celebrated in the Notre-Dame church about every other Sunday.

One of the most beautiful Ile de France villages with its many vestiges.
