Between Rouen and Le Havre, the Seine forms increasingly pronounced loops before flowing into the English Channel. It is this environment that gave rise to the Boucles de la Seine Normande nature park. From this high vantage point, you can admire the landscapes.

Perfect hike, good elevation changes, incredible view

The Roches d'Orival offer a spectacular spectacle. These white chalk cliffs, sculpted by erosion, overlook the Seine and offer an exceptional panorama of the valley. You will be able to discover the richness of the natural and historical heritage of this site which dates back to the Neolithic era. You will see traces of a castle built by Richard Coeur de Lion in 1195, troglodyte dwellings from the 17th century, a fortified Roman camp, a Gallo-Roman temple, brick ovens from the 19th century. You will also discover a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna: orchids, butterflies, praying mantises and green lizards. The course has some steep and rocky sections, so be prepared for a moderate challenge.

Nature and history lovers will enjoy running in the national forest of La Londe-Rouvray. This forest is divided into two parts: the Forêt de Rouvray, which is a protected area with ancient oak and beech trees, and the Forêt de la Londe, which offers breathtaking views of the Seine and its limestone cliffs.
