6 good reasons to come to Seine-Eure in 2024

Already practicable and open to enthusiasts, there are currently 5 trail routes in the Rouen-Seine-Eure destination, including 3 starting from the Léry-Poses park in Normandy, created in partnership with the specialist app “On Piste”. A “trail station” that will be officially launched in March 2024, making the destination a real spot for lovers of nature running, before the opening in the coming months and years of other routes across the Rouen-Seine-Eure metropolitan area.

The year 2024 will also be a milestone for hiking enthusiasts in Seine-Eure, as March will also see the official launch of the long-awaited “La Seine-Normande à pied de gare à gare” route with the Rouen Seine-Eure metropolitan cluster and the Nouvelle Normandie territory. Already available here, this walking itinerary follows the route of the GR®2 and its variant on the banks of the Seine from Rouen station to Vernon-Giverny station, offering 4 splendid stages where nature and Normandy heritage come together. A 98km adventure without a car, a must-do in 2024!

In 2024, we couldn’t pass up the Olympic Games. Or rather, if but then really right next door! Because Seine-Eure, just 1 hour from Paris, is emerging as the ideal place to enjoy the games with all the advantages and none of the disadvantages. The area’s 3 stations, in Pont-de-l’Arche, Val-de-Reuil and Gaillon-Aubevoye all serve the capital and will allow sports fans to go and watch the events without worrying about traffic or parking while enjoying a relaxing stay in Normandy.

And for the others? Well, Seine-Eure will no doubt be a welcome back-up base for our Parisian friends who prefer the gentle way of life and serenity of Normandy to the hustle and bustle of the international event in the heart of the capital. In short, the perfect place to come and green up during the Games and why not, plan a few days or weeks of teleworking in a gîte, guest house, hotel, campsite, chalet, caravan, farm… In short, a quiet little corner?

A flagship event for the Seine-Eure region, the “Les Embarqués en Escales” festival will of course be a highlight of 2024. This major event, which features street shows: theatre, circus, music, dance, comedy… for several days in the rural and country communes of the area, will be held from 6 to 16 June 2024 and will, as usual be free. The selected companies will once again demonstrate their high quality with high-level shows.

New this year: there will be two days of festivities and shows at the parc de Léry-Poses in Normandy on 15 and 16 June. The grand final all-light show on the Lac des Deux-Amants on the evening of Saturday 15 also promises to be grandiose, with a veritable fairyland of drones and fireworks put on by the “Groupe F“, an internationally renowned company.
