|
|
The GR 26 long-distance hiking trail connects the banks of the Seine to the English Channel, stretching from Villennes-sur-Seine in the Yvelines department to Villers-sur-Mer in Normandy. This route traverses a diverse landscape, from the forests of the Île-de-France region to the vast cereal plains and hedged farmland of Normandy. The history of the trail is one of trade between Paris and Normandy, as evidenced by a rich heritage of Romanesque churches and rural castles. The trail reveals the region's typical architecture, notably half-timbered houses and fortified Norman farms. The flora is characterized by oak and beech forests, while the fauna ranges from game birds of the plains to seabirds of the Côte Fleurie, offering a comprehensive and varied experience.
