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

45km of calm and safety on a path on a false flat uphill not too demanding the first 10 km. The ground surface is of good quality on the majority of the route even if at the end it looks more like gravel with dead leaves and branches on the ground. Very beautiful portion to connect Paris to Deauville

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.

Located on the border of the communes of Heudreville-sur-Eure and Acquigny, “Le Clos Saint-Mauxe”, a small clearing, is a symbolic place of the Christian faith. In the first centuries of our era, Saint-Mauxe, bishop of Italy, persecuted for his faith in God, took refuge in Gaul, accompanied by his brother Vénérand, deacon, and two priests Marc and Etherius. Pursued by the proconsul Sabinus from whom they had escaped in Italy, they were joined by their enemies in this clearing. Sabinus had the heads of Saint Mauxus and Saint Vénérand cut off... as well as eight of his own soldiers who had just been converted by the words and miracles of the holy bishop. This site became a place of fervor and devotion where processions were regularly organized, particularly during difficult times, for example during the plague of 1517 or the droughts of 1556 and 1785. According to historical records, miracles were even cited and an altar with a stone column was erected

Church of Acquigny

Very beautiful long cycle path in the Eure. Well paved and very pleasant, far from any road traffic.

This castle is ideally placed at the confluence of the Eure and the Iton rivers. This stream was diverted from its bed to feed the moats of this beautiful building. It can be admired from the park gate.

The Château de Houetteville, a private castle visible from the road, is an old Renaissance castle transformed into a neo-medieval castle by Henri Jacquelin around the 1930s. “Jacquelin again transformed a simple neo-classical house in Houetteville into a medieval castle, with astonishing fantasy. In an economically paralyzed country, Houetteville was perhaps the last neo-Gothic castle in France. Extravagant edifice, which prefers to ignore its time to artificially continue a way of life long gone.”
