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 slab rests on four pillars of the same material, forming a chamber which was probably used for funerary rituals. The dolmen is one of the oldest and best preserved in Normandy, it has been listed as a historical monument since 1889.

This site now houses an agricultural high school. No matter which road you take to get there, it will be pleasant and surrounded by nature. Ideal for taking an invigorating break. Castle built in the 17th century by the Count of Louviers, perhaps from older elements. The outbuildings (outbuildings, stables, chapel) date from the 18th century: the large stables were built in 1736, the chapel was remodeled in 1771. The dwelling was extensively remodeled in the 19th century; at the start of the 20th century, the architect Lisch restored and enlarged it by adding a square pavilion to the northeast. The regular garden visible on the 18th century plan later became an irregular garden. In the 17th century, the poet Madame Deshoulières (1637-1694) stayed there. Successive owners include the Grimouville family, the Hanivel family, the Clermont-Tonnerres, the Marquise de Kerkoent, the Marquise de Tourzel, governess to the children of Louis XVI, the Duchess of Lorges, the Cro family.
