Saint-André-D'hébertot: Church, Lavoir and Cycling Routes

Saint-André-D'hébertot can be explored from different perspectives: the church and the lavoir tell the story of the buildings and the community, while cycling routes and walking trails offer specific route options. A farm visit is also possible, but by appointment only.

Church and community history

The main construction phases of Église Saint-André date from the 12th and 16th centuries. On March 21, 1910, it was classified as a historic monument. The construction phases and the classification therefore provide different historical reference points: the development of the church building and its later designation. ASADEP regularly opens the church to the public; opening arrangements may vary. If you plan to visit, check them in advance.

The Lavoir de Saint-André-D'hébertot was built in the second half of the 19th century and is the commune's last remaining visible public washhouse. It complements the church by offering another perspective on local history: here, a public washhouse takes center stage. The lavoir is accessible on foot, by bicycle, and by car; parking is available nearby.

Cycling routes and their sections

On the Vélomaritime towards Honfleur, the section from Pont-l'Évêque to Saint-André-D'hébertot follows a greenway. This section is 8.0 kilometers long. From there, the route continues to Honfleur along a shared route. The stated distance therefore refers to the greenway as far as Saint-André-D'hébertot, not the entire connection to Honfleur.

Another cycling route between Deauville and Saint-André-D'hébertot follows a former railway line for its final 7-kilometer section. The two figures describe different parts and routes: 8.0 kilometers is the length of the greenway from Pont-l'Évêque, while 7 kilometers refers to the final section of the route from Deauville. This distinction helps you interpret the respective distances according to the section you plan to ride.

Walking in the Terre d'Auge network

The Terre d'Auge network comprises ten walking trails that are open and accessible year-round. Each trail is 7 to 12 kilometers long and suitable for all difficulty levels. Check trail conditions before setting out. This way, you can take the stated distances and your own choice of route into account without overlooking conditions along the way.

Farm visit by appointment

GAEC Boissel Père et Fils offers cellar tours and free tastings by appointment. An appointment is required for both, so take this into account when planning. The history of the farm is another aspect in its own right: it has been passed down from father to son for five generations. A visit therefore offers both a specific experience and a look at how the farm has been handed down across generations.
