Walking in the Seine Valley

Annabelle's verdict

Follow the snaking River Seine between Caudebec en Caux and the village of La Bouille. This well-signed trail is a notch up from easy but you're rewarded by tracks through deep, silent forests, gentle riverbank paths and views of magnificent abbeys. Then, having burned off the calories, indulge in guilt-free dinners.

Belle France says

Take a journey on our four-night Seine Valley Secrets walking tour through the forest hunting grounds of the early French kings, along rural tracks and lanes and alongside the majestic Seine. As it meanders its way in huge loops from Paris to the sea you will encounter pretty rural communities and towering white stone abbeys, reminding you of the power and wealth of the established Church in past times.

Walking 10-12 miles a day, we rank this rural walking break as easy to moderate, with easy gradients. We will move your bags from hotel to hotel each day, until you finish near the historic city of Rouen.

We understand that a comfortable bed and a great meal at the end of your day are just as important as the beauty of the scenery you have encountered. So you will stay in charming small hotels and chambres d’hôtes, and eat the best of local produce – either in the hotel itself, or in a selected restaurant nearby (breakfast and dinner each night are included in the price).

We will send you very detailed walking notes, with precisely marked-up maps to guide you well from start to finish. And our knowledgeable and friendly team in the UK will help plan how best to get to the start of your walk, either by car or train.

Belle France offers a range of walking breaks in inland and coastal France including Normandy, Picardy, The Loire, Charente and Burgundy.
