Cycling day trip from Dieppe to Forges-les-Eaux

Kick off your ride in the charming coastal town of Dieppe, known not only for its historic seafaring heritage but also its vibrant Saturday morning market. As you pedal away, savor the crisp sea breeze before veering onto peaceful paths, where traffic is almost non-existent. This route mostly hugs smooth asphalt, making it a pleasant journey for most bikes.

Your destination? The scenic village of Forges-les-Eaux, nestled in the lush Pays de Bray. With its rich history of therapeutic hot springs and the occasional horse racing buzz, you’ll find plenty to explore once you arrive.

The journey is mostly a gentle ascension with an overall ascent of 260 meters, so be prepared for a bit of a climb along the way. You’ll reach a high point of about 170 meters, but don't worry, the descent into Forges-les-Eaux is quite gradual and easy on the legs.

So, pack a picnic or plan a café stop en route to indulge in some local cheeses. This ride is the perfect mix of beautiful scenery, light exercise, and the opportunity to discover two uniquely enchanting areas in Normandy. Happy cycling!
