6 reasons to come to Seine-Eure in 2023

The traditional Armada is a bit like the “Miss France” of boats, so it’s up to you to judge which one will be the most beautiful. The event takes place every 4 years in Rouen. Visitors come from far and wide to come and admire and visit these beautiful ships moored on the quays of the city of a hundred steeples. This year, it will be held from 8 to 18 June. And on the last day, the crews set sail up the seine before returning home to the 4 corners of the world. It’s an opportunity to take a break on the banks of the river to admire these impressive vessels cruising against the backdrop of Normandy.

On-site, meet our proud representative: the boat William the Conqueror. Discover the quays of Rouen and its fabulous rigging from a different angle with a dinner cruise on the Seine.

Situated 30km from Rouen, the accommodation providers in Seine-Eure will enable you to stay close to the event and the loop of the Seine where the sailors will parade, so you can enjoy this superb spectacle in peace and quiet.

Let’s have some fun with Les Embarqués en Escales! They’re the modern-day troubadours. They bring sunshine and smiles to our little villages in June. These peddlers of good humour offer free entertainment and shows combining theatre, circus, music and dance. All you need is a friendly spirit to come and enjoy them!

Actually the leisure park at Léry-Poses, let’s talk about it! Because the beach is nice, but salt water, pebbles and sand in your shoes are fine for 5 minutes. Swimming in a lake is much more pleasant.

And at the beach they have pedalos? Canoes and kayaks? An aqua jump?

Besides, Léry-Poses is one of those places in Normandy that’s great for camping. Between the Seine and the lake, in a little corner of nature, in the shade under a tree, on the banks of the Seine…

Looking forward to the summer!

What better than a hike in Normandy to take a breather from the daily grind. Without going very far, the hikes in Seine-Eure will take your mind on a journey.

If walking breaks your feet, mountain biking or canoeing on the Eure is just what you need.

In the forest, beside a river, the Seine or a lake, whether you’re a sportsman or a walker, you’re bound to find a fun itinerary that appeals.

Oyé Oyé damoiselles, damoiseaux. France’s first Renaissance château is reopening its drawbridge to welcome you back to its bosom this year.

Its history is full of twists and turns: it went from fortress to residence, then from prison to military barracks. Many prisoners’ graffiti can still be seen in the cells.

After a most interesting guided tour, a little gourmet dining in the charming Normandy town of Gaillon won’t go amiss!
