Up-to-date info!<\/h2>

Currently forming the natural border<\/strong> between the \u00cele-de-France and Normandy, the Epte is also a historic border in its own right! In the Middle Ages, it was the boundary between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Normandy. A strategic place, it had a large number of fortifications and left a particular place in history with the signing of the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A wild valley<\/strong><\/h2>

Putting history aside for a moment, we suggest you go for a stroll in the small, picturesque villages of the Epte valley, (from Berthenonville<\/strong> to Vexin-sur-Epte<\/strong>, and then on to Giverny<\/strong>).<\/p>

Undoubtedly the wildest of the three Nouvelle Normandie valleys, the Epte Valley has many different sides which can be discovered by car or, if you\u2019re looking for a more authentic experience, on foot or by canoe-kayak!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

By bike, on foot or by canoe-kayak<\/strong><\/h2>

On foot, you will take the Epte greenway<\/strong>, which runs from Gasny to Gisors, and even a small portion of the London-Paris green avenue.<\/p>

If you want to experience the more natural and rustic side of this Seine tributary, then a trip with a canoe-kayak is highly recommended. Rando-Epte and Cano-Epte can help you organise your outing!<\/p>

Along the water\u2019s edge, you\u2019ll discover its preserved nature and remarkable fauna and flora which is protected at a European level (Natura 2000).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
