Excursión ciclista de un día de Dieppe a Forges-les-Eaux

This ride starts in Dieppe, a charming port town on the Normandy coast known for its fresh seafood, pebbled beach, and vibrant Saturday morning market. From here, you’ll head inland, rolling along the mostly dedicated Avenue Verte cycle path—a super-scenic, car-free route that used to be a railway line. With over 90% of the route paved and asphalted, it’s smooth pedaling nearly the whole way.

The ride is a touch over 54 km, great for a leisurely day out with a gentle climb as the countryside opens up. Nature fans will love this: the path meanders through sleepy hamlets, shaded forests, and open meadows, with picnic spots and old station stops along the way.

Your destination is Forges-les-Eaux, a historic spa town famous for its mineral springs and Belle Époque charm. It’s the perfect spot to grab a pastry, stroll past the lakes, or check out the quirky Musée des Maquettes. All told, this is a relaxing, mostly traffic-free adventure from coast to countryside—ideal for anyone looking to escape the hustle and enjoy rural Normandy on two wheels.
