La Roche-Guyon Castle and Keep

Highlight • Castle

Pretty village located below the slopes of the Vexin plateau on the bank of the Seine. Its castle, property of La Rochefoucauld, dominated by a medieval keep, and the arboretum are worth a visit.

La Roche-Guyon Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of La Roche-Guyon impresses the adventurers passing through Vexin. It dates from the Middle Ages and since its construction, each century has left its mark.

As its name suggests, the castle leans against chalk. This creates a beautiful dialogue between the building and its environment. Is this the way art finds beauty in nature?

Banks of the Seine at Vétheuil

Highlight • River

The tranquility of the banks of the Seine. At Vétheuil, a few islands slow down the course of the river. The small streets go back to the heart of the village and its beautiful church. Claude Monet lived in Vétheuil before acquiring Giverny. From Vétheuil you can walk along the meanders of the river and for the more courageous, going up the hillsides, see the white cliffs on the banks of the Seine and the meanders of the river in a row.
