Discover Fort-Moville

When planning a stay in Fort-Moville, you can compare two very different routes: the moderately difficult Chemin de Gargantua on foot and the difficult Circuit de la Boucle du Nord by bike. Distance, duration and route features can help you choose an activity that fits your schedule. Other things to explore include a valley view, two washhouses and goat’s cheese.

Hiking the Chemin de Gargantua

The Chemin de Gargantua is 6.3 kilometres long, moderately difficult and takes 1 hour 30 minutes according to the route information. The route description was last updated on 13 June 2025. Forty-four per cent of the route is unpaved. The route is also marked in blue; the markings may change, so check them locally before setting off.

These details serve different planning purposes: the distance describes the length of the route, the time gives its stated duration, and the unpaved proportion describes part of the trail surface. The blue markings provide additional guidance for navigation. This lets you assess the hike based on specific route features, rather than considering only the number of kilometres.

Valley view and washhouse

The Chemin de Gargantua offers a view over the small Corbie valley. The Lavoir de la Source Vannier is another point of interest: a covered washhouse that has recently been restored and enhanced. The view and the washhouse offer different highlights: one is a landscape feature, the other a restored building. If you choose your outings based on your interests, both details may appeal to you in different ways.

Cycling the Circuit de la Boucle du Nord

A 2020 cycling guide describes the Circuit de la Boucle du Nord as a difficult 36-kilometre loop with a duration of three hours. The route passes the Lavoir de Fort-Moville. As the 2020 guide does not establish current route conditions, check the latest route files before setting off. The stated duration applies to this cycling loop, not to a hike.

At 36 kilometres and three hours, the Circuit is considerably longer than the 6.3-kilometre Chemin, which takes 1 hour 30 minutes; the routes are also rated “difficult” and “moderately difficult” respectively. This comparison gives you an idea of the time required and difficulty, even though the routes are for different activities. The Lavoir de Fort-Moville is named as a destination on the Circuit, while the Chemin is characterised by its view over the Corbie valley.

Goat’s cheese at La Chèvrerie du Mesnil

A 2024–2025 tourism guide lists farm tastings and direct sales of hand-ladled goat’s cheeses at La Chèvrerie du Mesnil. The varieties mentioned include Crottins, Bûches, Lieuvins, Faisselles and Tommes. The information describes two visitor options: tasting the cheeses on site and buying them directly. For your planning, both a culinary tasting and the named varieties are relevant. As the information relates to 2024–2025, confirm the current opening arrangements before your visit.
