GR®222

From Pitres to Verneuil d'Avre et d'Iton (Eure)

The GR222 long-distance hiking trail connects the confluence of the Seine and Andelle rivers to the edge of the Perche region. The path follows ancient communication routes between medieval abbeys and fortified towns that once protected the borders of the Duchy of Normandy. The heritage sites along the way are exceptional: from the abbeys of the Risle Valley to the half-timbered houses of Beaumont-le-Roger, culminating in the Madeleine Tower in Verneuil, a masterpiece of Flamboyant Gothic architecture. In terms of nature, hikers traverse ever-changing landscapes, alternating between chalk cliffs, vast forests like the Beaumont Forest, and the secluded valleys of the Charentonne and Iton rivers. Water is ever-present on this route, carving out fertile valleys and feeding the ancient moats of medieval towns.
