Saint-Aubin-sur-Scie: Château de Miromesnil and Pays de Caux

Saint-Aubin-sur-Scie combines several themes that offer different starting points for planning your stay: Château de Miromesnil, the GR 210 through the landscapes of the Pays de Caux, and flight experiences. There are also the Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Vertus and the history of the Église Saint-Aubin.

Château de Miromesnil and its gardens

At the Château de Miromesnil estate, guided tours of the chapel, château and gardens are offered; the gardens are also open for free visits. Visiting arrangements may change, so check the current conditions before your visit.

The Château is partly located in Saint-Aubin-sur-Scie. The château and grounds have different protection designations: the château was listed as a historic monument by decree of 6 February 1945, while the estate is situated in a protected area established by decree of 19 October 1942. The two dates refer to different protection designations.

The GR 210 and the landscape of the Pays de Caux

The GR 210 connects Saint-Aubin-sur-Scie with Clères and passes through typical Pays de Caux landscapes: green valleys, quiet forests and charming villages. This gives your travel planning a scenic route to focus on alongside the château and chapel. If you plan to take the trail, check the current trail conditions in advance.

Chapel, pilgrimage and local history

The Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Vertus is a 17th-century brick chapel in the hamlet of Les Vertus. It was built by David Valle, a citizen of Dieppe, and features decoration by the Dieppe-born painter Quandalle. A pilgrimage by parishioners from Offranville has been held at the chapel every year on 1 May since 1659. This annual date offers a different point of reference from the building’s history. If you plan your trip around 1 May, confirm the event details in advance.

The Église Saint-Aubin also has an early historical connection: its patronage was transferred to the Abbey of Fécamp in 1030. Compared with the 17th-century chapel, this date points to a much earlier period in history.

Flight experiences and training

The Aéroclub de Dieppe/Commandant Fayolle offers introductory flights lasting 15 or 25 minutes, as well as introductory flights and courses for learning to fly. The offerings also include private pilot training, with a pilot certificate (Brevet) from age 15 and a pilot licence from age 17. Confirm the training requirements again before booking.

At Saint-Aubin-sur-Scie airfield, Les Ailes d’Albâtre offers introductory flights in gyroplanes, autogyros and three-axis ultralight aircraft. On ultralight flights, participants are accompanied by a qualified and experienced flight instructor; the offer is aimed at beginners as well as experienced ultralight enthusiasts. Flight availability, booking and participation conditions, and formats may change. Therefore, confirm the details that apply to your date in advance.

The themes offer different focuses: the château and chapel represent cultural history, the GR 210 offers landscapes, and the flight experiences are all about flying.
