The many flax fields can be admired along the way with that characteristic periwinkle blue color, but only in June, when it is in full bloom. The flax cycle route has many other very pleasant aspects when you travel it: first of all an impeccable asphalt, many places to rest, a sea air, and the assured calm of a road without any traffic, because you follow an old railway line completely renovated into a cycle path.

Large castle from the early 17th century. It doesn't seem to be accessible and I haven't found any more information about it. But it also impresses from the outside.

It is rare to be able to visit a castle classified as a historic monument where the princely family still lives in all the rooms, bedrooms and lounges and where you can share the furniture and objects that have seen so many centuries and personalities pass! Surrounded by a 10ha French-style park, designed by Collinot, gardener from Le Nôtre, the estate is famous for its private rose garden, the most important in Normandy with its 2,900 roses and 2,000 different varieties all labeled. Collection garden of Normandy in 2016. Since 2015: A romantic flowered vegetable garden brings together varieties of ancient vegetables, labeled and commented on. Elected at the end of 2017 as the most beautiful vegetable garden in France by the SNHF (National Horticultural Society of France). In May: a collection iris grove, double the Jardin des Plantes in Rouen, perfumes the massifs. Aviaries of exotic birds and collector's hens enchant part of the garden and… young visitors! http://www.chateau-mesnil-geoffroy.com/
