Regional Nature Park Loops of the Seine Normandy

Imagine a corner of greenery between Rouen and Le Havre. An unspoilt natural environment built around the loops of the Seine. Incredible light that inspired the precursors of Impressionism, foremost among them Eugène Boudin.

A Natural Sanctuary Timeless and cultural

In the meandering Seine, where the river seems to draw majestic arabesques through valleys and hills, lies one of Normandy’s hidden treasures: the Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Nature Park.

Imagine yourself, at the heart of this preserved region, where every corner of land tells a story as old as time. The calm waters of the Seine reflect the changing skies, while the verdant banks are home to an unsuspected wealth of flora and fauna. This is a place where time seems suspended, where nature reigns supreme, preserving its secrets and timeless beauty.

Here, villages nestle among the hills, half-timbered houses bear witness to the savoir-faire craftsmanship of centuries past. The verdant orchards, where fruit-laden apple trees blossom, distil a sweet fragrance into the air.

But this park is much more than just a postcard setting. It is a living ecosystem, where biodiversity flourishes in perfect harmony. From limestone cliffs to flowering meadows, from marshes to dense forests, every nook and cranny is home to a multitude of animal and plant species, some rare and endangered, offering a natural spectacle of striking beauty.

As the seasons change, the park undergoes a metamorphosis, revealing its vibrant colours in autumn, snowy landscapes in winter, flowering meadows in spring and sunny summer days. Each visit is a new adventure, a renewed discovery of the magic of nature.

But the Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Nature Park is much more than just a haven for nature. It is also a place of encounter and exchange, where locals perpetuate their age-old traditions, artists find inspiration and visitors come to recharge their batteries.

Through its winding paths and scenic byways, the park invites everyone to delve into its history, explore its hidden treasures and be bewitched by its timeless beauty.

The Park House

Imagine a building full of character, with stone walls and century-old beams, that seems to have been shaped by time itself at the heart of a 5-hectare estate open to walks.

La Maison du Parc is much more than just a building: it’s the vibrant heart of life and activity within the park. It’s here that visitors come to seek information on hiking trails, birdwatching sites or cultural events not to be missed.

The Maison du Parc embodies the very spirit of the Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Nature Park: a place of preservation, discovery and sharing, where everyone can find inspiration and wonder in the heart of nature.
