ブールヴィルのおすすめランニングルート

Town named after the illustrious French actor (his name is spelled Bourvil...), to whom a tribute is paid on this fresco! Located in Seine-Maritime, this town owes its notoriety to the famous actor, who used the name of the town of his childhood to choose his stage name.

The many flax fields can be admired along the way with that characteristic periwinkle blue color, but only in June, when it is in full bloom. The flax cycle route has many other very pleasant aspects when you travel it: first of all an impeccable asphalt, many places to rest, a sea air, and the assured calm of a road without any traffic, because you follow an old railway line completely renovated into a cycle path.

Superb castle near Bourville

the stele is near the town hall

Bourvil, whose real name André Raimbourg (1917-1970) spent all his childhood there. The name of the town inspired its stage name. A stele in his memory is next to the town hall.

A disused railway line of very good quality: good asphalt, no complicated barriers at road crossings, nice resting places (with leaning possibilities for bicycles without stand), stationary air pumps. However, little rest stops on the track and a weak signage at the interruption of the railway line at Luneray.
