Orival Troglodyte Caves

Highlight • Cave

If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding run, you can try the troglodyte trail in Orival, Normandy. This trail will take you through breathtaking landscapes, including the cliffs of the Seine, the ruins of an ancient castle and the fascinating troglodyte caves. These caves were inhabited by textile workers in the 17th century, and you can still see traces of their lives carved into the rock.

White cliffs, the Roches d'Orival

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roches d'Orival offer a spectacular spectacle. These white chalk cliffs, sculpted by erosion, overlook the Seine and offer an exceptional panorama of the valley. You will be able to discover the richness of the natural and historical heritage of this site which dates back to the Neolithic era. You will see the traces of a castle built by Richard Coeur de Lion in 1195, troglodyte dwellings from the 17th century, a fortified Roman camp, a Gallo-Roman temple, brick ovens from the 19th century. You will also discover a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna, including orchids, butterflies, praying mantises and green lizards. The hike has a few steep and rocky sections so be prepared for a moderate challenge.
