We all have in mind the image of a voluptuous Normandy with apple trees , cows and panier garni. No, no, this Normandy really does exist!
Take the Fruit Trail , lined with colorful orchards, and enjoy the apples and pears sold at the gate. Stop off at a local farm and discover the bounty of local produce. Treat yourself to an escapade in the marais to encounter this environment, a veritable conservatory of biodiversity. This natural, generous and verdant Normandy is at your fingertips. Even more astonishing, Rouen is home to unique vines , perched high above the city!
How beautiful it is, winding between the quais rouennais to slip into the Normandy bocages that hem in country banks, between the coquettish village of La Bouille and the charming market town of Duclair.
The Seine is a living, complicit artery for all the inhabitants of Rouen and its valley. The different cruises offered by the Tourist Office allow you to discover it to the full and glide along the water, among friendly barges.
Cycling is another way to follow the course of the water. We can even take the bacs , with your mount, to cross the river and prolong the pleasure. A recognition of the richness, protection and enhancement of these massifs, veritable green lungs of the Normandy capital. Wherever we are in Rouen, the forest is never far away, intimate to urban life.
