GR®224 Risle Valley
From Berville-sur-Mer to Verneuil d'Avre et d'Iton (Eure)
The GR®224, nicknamed the "Risle Valley Trail," crosses the Eure department, linking the Seine estuary to the medieval town of Verneuil d'Avre et d'Iton. It follows the winding course of the Risle River, which shaped the region's industrial and artisanal history through its numerous mills and tanneries. The built heritage is exceptional: from the Bec-Hellouin Abbey, a jewel of Norman monastic architecture, to the half-timbered houses of Pont-Audemer, known as the "Norman Venice." The landscapes are characterized by their gentle beauty, alternating between estuary cliffs, the wetlands of the Marais-Vernier, and dense forests like the Montfort Forest. Nature lovers will also pass through protected areas where white storks thrive and a variety of wetland flora is preserved. Heading south, the terrain softens to reveal the medieval heritage of Conches-en-Ouche and the military remains of Verneuil-sur-Avre.
