The many flax fields can be admired along the way with that characteristic periwinkle blue color, but only in June, when it is in full bloom. The flax cycle route has many other very pleasant aspects when you travel it: first of all an impeccable asphalt, many places to rest, a sea air, and the assured calm of a road without any traffic, because you follow an old railway line completely renovated into a cycle path.

Unfortunately I have not found any information about this and it is not possible to visit. From the outside, however, it looks impressive. In any case, it is one of the great castles in the area.

At the bend of a road, one does not expect to find this beautiful castle and its pijonnier.

A disused railway line of very good quality: good asphalt, no complicated barriers at road crossings, nice resting places (with leaning possibilities for bicycles without stand), stationary air pumps. However, little rest stops on the track and a weak signage at the interruption of the railway line at Luneray.
