バイユール・ヌーヴィル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

ディエップからパリまで坂道を登りましたが、それでもイギリスのサイクリングロードよりずっと楽でした。

A must-see

You walk on the green avenue. 40 km long, this route echoes a long Franco-British history. In 1873, a railway was built to provide access between London and Paris via the Dieppe - Newhaven shipping line. This connection is still relevant, no longer by train, but by bike! At this point, you straddle the Béthune. This river has its source in the town of Gaillefontaine at an altitude of 205m. After a journey of 65 km, it joins the Varenne then the Eaulne at Arques-la-Bataille where their confluence creates the Arques.

Away from cars, but a bit monotonous...

I do not know if it is listed as such, in any case it is a beautiful climb that can indeed be assimilated to a small pass, with at the end a panorama of the valley of Bethune. It is apparently a popular place for paragliders in the region. During my visit, I also came across one waiting for a favorable wind.

Magnificent castle dating from the Renaissance whose plans were inspired by the castle of Chaumont s/Loire. Sequestered during the Revolution, the estate was transformed into a prison during the time of the Terror and housed up to 150 prisoners. It was returned to its owner in 1799. The site is now owned by the St Joseph Institute and the outbuildings house a private establishment for general and technical education, with in particular courses dedicated to horticulture and the hotel and catering industry. The castle offers accommodation services and room rentals for events. It is open to individual visits during the July-August period from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., except on reception days for weddings or other events. The gardens surrounding the castle were designed by Le Nôtre. A sign on the Avenue Verte also specifies that the village of Mesnières, entirely organized around the castle, deserves a little detour. It's true ...

Mesnières-en-Braye, very beautiful castle.

I couldn't visit it but stopped in front of it. A castle to visit I think.
