Green Way Green Avenue of the Pays de Bray (Stage of the London-Paris Green Avenue)

Cycling from Dieppe to Forges-les-Eaux

The Avenue Verte du Pays de Bray offers one of the most beautiful routes of cycle track de Normandy. Developed on theformer Paris–Dieppe railway lineshe crosses the Seine-Maritime department over nearly 50 km between Forges-les-Eaux et DieppeThis transformation of a railway line into walking and cycling path It has a unique character: a dedicated right-of-way, free from motorized traffic, perfectly straight and with an almost flat profile. An ideal invitation for outings in family, the walks in Biking, VAEon foot or on rollerblades.

From the start to Forges-les-Eaux, a former spa town, the route opens onto the typical landscapes of the Pays de Bray : hedged meadows, apple orchards, and small green valleys. The restored old train stations, the gatekeeper's houses, and the regular presence of interpretive panels recall the area's railway history. By consulting the map of the Green Avenue of the Pays de BrayWe observe the logical continuation of the pattern: Serqueux, Beaussault, Neufchâtel-en-Bray — famous for its PDO cheese — before reaching Arques-la-batailleThe Béthune river accompanies the path at times, bringing freshness and variety to the scenery.

As you approach the coast, the sea air becomes more present and the arrival on Dieppe constitutes a true highlight: a lively port, ancient heritage and, above all, the immense white chalk cliffs of the Alabaster Coast which majestically conclude the route.

The greenway is an essential link in the London–Paris Green Avenue, one of the major European cycling routes. From the Pays de Bray, several connections allow you to continue towards Paris, either via the Oise valley or via the Epte valley in the direction ofEure and the French VexinLocal loops complement the offering, notably towards the forests of Eu and Eawy, providing other nature getaways accessible to all cyclists.
