  • A Drive through the Val de Seine
    Morning

    Take the D982 from Rouen to St-Martin-deBoscherville to visit the lovely Romanesque Abbaye St-Georges de Boscherville . Walk around the gardens and enjoy the views. After a browse in the abbey shop, revive yourself at one of the village bars.

    Cotinue on the D982 until you reach the D143 turn-off for the bewitching, ruined Abbaye de Jumièges . This is a place for calm contemplation, so don’t rush your visit. Afterwards, make your way to the picturesque Seine-side inn Auberge du Bac (2 rue Alphonse Callais) for lunch.

    Afternoon

    Retrace your steps to the D982 and head on to the Abbaye de St-Wandrille . Finish with a visit to the shop, filled with goods produced by the monks.

    Cross the elegant Pont de Brotonne into the Forêt de Brotonne via the D40, and spend the rest of the afternoon exploring this tranquil forest at the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Boucles de la Seine Normande . Visit the Maison du Parc in Notre-Dame-de-Bliquetuit, then stop for tea at the simple Chez Agnès. Leave the forest on the D913, take the little roads via Barneville and Mauny to La Bouille, where the bac (ferryboat) will ferry you across the river to Sahurs. From here, turn right and follow signs for Rouen.
