Tips from the Community
pleasant town, despite the lack of a cycle path, it's a shame there is no cycle route along the coast, especially to reach the pretty villages of Pourville-sur-mer, Quiberville etc...

Listed as a Historic Monument, the Notre-Dame church is a very interesting building that expresses some very characteristic features of the architecture of the Norman School, particularly in the Gothic choir attributed to the 13th century. The bell tower-porch has a late 15th century portal with an ogival arcade that frames an openwork tympanum. Above the portal is built a flamboyant style rose window. The nave, flanked by two side aisles, was built in the 13th century, but was extensively remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. It has an interior elevation on 3 levels. All that remains of the primitive Romanesque church is the base of the old lantern tower. Visible only from the outside, it is located at the crossing of the transept. The church has some singularities: -The sepulchre dating from the 15th century, representing Christ stretched out on a shroud, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John the Evangelist, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene. -The stained glass windows are attributed for the most part to Édouard Didron, a great Parisian master glassmaker.

This cycle route was built on the old railway line of the Dieppe-Paris line, the Avenue Verte London-Paris has kept the memory of the trains that pass: stations, barriers, signals and even rails punctuate the passage. From Gournay-en-Bray to Forges-les-Eaux, 20 kilometers of shared path allow you to discover small villages typically Brayon. From Ferrières-en-Bray to Beauvais, you will only have to enjoy the gentle path specially designed for cyclists. On foot, by bike, on roller skates, let yourself be told the stories and secrets of our villages and taste the pleasures of local products!
