GR®212
From Ste Marguerite-sur-Mer to Duclair (Seine-Maritime)
|
|
The GR212 long-distance hiking trail connects the Alabaster Coast to the meanders of the Seine. The path veers away from the chalk cliffs and into the hinterland of the Pays de Caux, primarily following the Austreberthe Valley. The built heritage is remarkably elegant: hikers encounter brick and flint manor houses, charming country churches, and exceptional parks such as that of the Château de Miromesnil. In terms of nature, the landscape evolves from coastal valleys to verdant hedgerows and plateaus of large-scale agriculture. Flora and fauna thrive in the wetlands of the valley bottoms, offering a striking contrast to the beech forests that line the route. The arrival in Duclair provides a majestic finale on the banks of the Seine, where the river begins its final meanders before reaching the estuary.
