ウードルヴィル＝シュル＝ウールのおすすめツーリングルート

Magnificent view of the Château d'Acquigny (whose garden can be visited) and the Eure valley

friendly little town

Pacy-sur-Eure is an ideal place to take a break. With its terraces, local shops, and lively small-town atmosphere, it's a popular stop for touring cyclists. There's also a steam train here for exploring the Eure Valley in a different way.

Located on the banks of the Eure River, the small village of Croisy-sur-Eure is ideal for a break. The village is divided into two parts. It houses a castle, a church, and old stones with authentic charm. As a side note, this is where the famous Boursin cheese is produced, founded by François Boursin in 1957.

The Mesnil Jourdain church, built between the 15th and 16th centuries, is part of a remarkable ensemble with the neighboring Hellenvilliers manor. The church has a defensive bell tower which rests on a pillar in the middle of the nave, a rare architectural feature in the region. You can admire the recently restored stone gargoyles and balustrade, as well as the stained glass windows and paintings inside the church.

The Bord-Louviers forest is a majestic forest located at the confluence of the Eure and the Seine. This forest, former property of the Dukes of Normandy and the Kings of France, covers an area of 4,568 hectares and offers a variety of landscapes and ecosystems. You can discover the pine forest on the northern terraces overlooking the Seine, the beech forest in the central plain, or even the oaks on the southern plateaus. You will also be able to admire the seven remarkable trees listed, such as the Tabouel beech, a 39 meter high beech, or the Pancarte oak, an oak which has swallowed a sign on its trunk. The forest is also home to a rich fauna: deer, wild boars, foxes and squirrels.
