Take a break

In the Vexin Normand

Enjoy a year-round break in the Vexin Normand countryside : from spring onwards, multicolored fields await you, with blue flax, bright yellow rapeseed, golden wheat and barley, now joined by sunflowers and, all year round, verdant meadows offering you horizons as far as the eye can see. To the north of our territory, you’ll find the Lyons state forest, the largest beech forest in France: some of our villages border this majestic forest in all seasons, particularly in autumn. As you pass through our villages, the half-timbering and cob of the longères or the pink bricks of the large farmhouses, manor houses and châteaux, follow on from the limestone to confirm that you are indeed in Normandy.
