I only rode the part between Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamps, as before this there is a 20km ride on shared roads, and I don't like these so much on my longboard. The part I rode is superb, be it for the landscape, the vilages, the tarmac and the rest areas with tables, benches, apple trees. I loved it and will be back.

Rode it on a longboard from Saint Vaast Dieppevalle to Fecamp. Nice tarmac, quiet, not a lot of people, a lot of rest areas with table, benches, and apple trees. Superb landscapes. I loved it and will come back. What is also interesting for training is that it is never flat, with uphills that can go for 4 or 5 km, but those are around 2%, so doable. Good for inline rollers, quads, longboards.

The park isn't exactly top-notch, but you can see that someone is trying not to let everything fall into disrepair. A castle like this can also be a heavy burden.

The flax fields with poppies are an ideal color combination.

Things get a bit more touristy here – but still pleasant. The water is crystal clear.
