In the Vexin Normand

Located on the axis of the Avenue Verte London – Paris, the Vexin Normand is a little paradise for a cycling holiday.

The Voie Verte de la Vallée de l’Epte, which forms part of the route of the London – Paris, is one of the must-do’s of a stay in the Vexin Normand for a bike ride between Gisors and Gasny, with its passages on the Epte in this verdant valley, all on 25 km of easy and accessible route for all, away from traffic.

The Green Way

de la Vallée de l'Epte

It runs alongside the superb Vallée de l’Epte, the former border between Normandy and the Kingdom of France. This river marks the boundary between the Norman Vexin and the French Vexin. Ideal for cycle touring, the Epte Valley Greenway is also a great way to start a cycling trip, on an easy, car-free route through beautiful natural scenery along the Epte. Perfect for a gentle warm-up! The road surface is suitable for all types of cycles.

On foot, by bike or on rollerblades, you’ll appreciate the calm and pleasant nature of this greenway, which winds its way towards Gasny, in the direction of the Seine and Giverny, its ease for all publics, with a gradient-free route, a pleasant road surface that’s passable even on rollerblades, its alternating stretches of plain and wooded areas, its pretty landscapes along the Epte.

This greenway is just perfect for cycling with children or walking, running … away from traffic.

It’s also possible to reach Giverny by bike from Gisors on the greenway to Gasny, then for a few kilometers on small roads from Gasny to Giverny.

Looking for a break?

Are you thirsty and in the mood for a break? If you’re also a fan of secondhand goods or vintage vehicles, here’s a must-visit address! Just 100 m from the Voie Verte parking lot, Les Puces du Moulin is a veritable goldmine for “country chic”, “indus” and vintage bargains. Their annex dedicated to vintage vehicles welcomes you with a bar at weekends.

As its name suggests, this site is a former mill. If you’re an inveterate bargain hunter, start your stroll along the greenway by parking your car in this dedicated parking lot. You’ll only have to walk 500 m to reach the brocante parking lot, and you can bring your finds back in the boot of your car, if your bikes travel on bike carriers.
