Miromesnil Castle (French: Château de Miromesnil) is located in the commune of Tourville-sur-Arques in the Seine-Maritime department, in Normandy in northern France. The castle's name comes from the French nobleman Armand Thomas Hue, vicomte de Miromesnil, a minister of the Ancien Régime under Louis XVI. The castle is famous as the birthplace of Guy de Maupassant. The writer was born on August 5, 1850, on the first floor of the building. His parents rented the castle at the time. The castle complex includes a large garden and an extensive park, which have been designated a "Jardin Remarquable" by the French Ministry of Culture. Since February 6, 1945, the castle building has been listed as a historical monument in France. The castle chapel, which is part of the complex, has been classified as an independent historical monument since July 1957. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Miromesnil

This red phone booth is a unique and charming place to visit. It is located near the town hall and has been transformed into a book exchange by a group of young volunteers. You can flip through the books, pick up the one you're interested in and leave the one you've finished reading. It's a good way to share your passion for literature with other hikers and locals. You can also enjoy the view of the Château d'Arques-la-Bataille, a medieval fortress which dominates the town and the Arques valley. The castle was the scene of several historic battles, including the famous Battle of Arques in 1589, in which Henry IV defeated the Catholic League.

Away from cars, but a bit monotonous...

Located on a rocky spur which dominates the valley, this fortified castle was probably built between 1040 and 1045 by the uncle of William the Conqueror. It was an important site during the Hundred Years' War. In 1589, Henry IV won a decisive victory at the foot of the ramparts against the Catholic league opposing his accession to the throne. From this episode comes the affixing of “The Battle” to the town of Arques. The castle is now in ruins and the interior can no longer be visited for security reasons, but you can go around it via the counterscarp path cut into the rock. To do this, unless you are an ace mountain biker, you will have to leave the bike and go around on foot. But it's worth it, because this short walk with some ups and downs offers wide panoramas of the surroundings and gives the full extent of the site. It is entirely possible to reach the entrance to the castle by road bike. To do this, you will have to climb a small tarmac path, but with a very steep slope.
