Saint-Nicolas-de-Bliquetuit: Heritage and Seine Routes

Local history, routes along the Seine and horse-riding activities give a trip to Saint-Nicolas-de-Bliquetuit different points of focus. When planning, you can consider whether you would like to focus primarily on a historic landmark, a walking route or activities with horses.

Heritage and the Route du Bac

The Calvaire du Bac is a bronze work by the sculptor Edme Bouchardon. It was installed in 1929 after a procession. The work therefore connects a named piece of art with a specific event: the procession preceded its installation.

The Route du Bac also leads to a historic local landmark. It runs from Saint-Nicolas-de-Bliquetuit towards Port-Caudebec and the former ferry landing. The Calvaire is a single bronze work, while the route points towards a former landing place. Both offer different ways to explore local history.

Walking routes in the Seine landscape

The Le Bliquetuit circular route follows the Seine towpath, passes under the Pont de Brotonne and reaches the former ferry landing opposite Caudebec-en-Caux. The sequence makes the route easy to follow: the towpath, the passage under the bridge and a named destination are all part of this walking route.

The Le Bliquetuit walking circuit is listed in the PDESI and classified as a département-level route of interest, level 2. By comparison, the Route du Bac runs from Saint-Nicolas-de-Bliquetuit towards Port-Caudebec and the former ferry landing. Both routes include this destination; the circular route adds the towpath and Pont de Brotonne, while the Route du Bac indicates the direction towards Port-Caudebec.

Horse-riding activities and views of Brotonne

At Les Écuries du Marottin, the focus is on nature and horse-riding activities. The centre offers direct access to the Forêt de Brotonne without crossing a road, as well as panoramic views of the Boucles du Parc Naturel de la Seine. This combination of woodland access and views sets it apart from the historical landmarks and walking circuit.

The activities include riding lessons and baby pony activities for children aged three and over. They also include rides, beginner and advanced courses in all disciplines, riding exams and equine therapy. The different formats range from lessons and further training to rides, exams and therapy. The age of three and over applies to the baby pony activities.

Agriculture and gastronomy

GAEC La Chèvrerie de Bliquetuit offers technical visits about agriculture in rural areas; gastronomy is also a topic for visitors. This means that alongside art, walking routes and horse-riding activities, agriculture and gastronomy are also options to consider when planning your trip.

These points of interest are easy to distinguish: the Calvaire du Bac represents a specific work of art and the story of its installation, Le Bliquetuit a described walking route, and Les Écuries du Marottin horse-riding activities and views of the landscape. This way, you can choose what to explore in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bliquetuit based on the themes you would like to shape your stay.
