The cycle route
From Pacy-sur-Eure, follow the signs for ‘Vallée de l'Eure à vélo’ towards Ménilles and Croisy-sur-Eure, taking care on the D65. You will then take quiet little roads between the river, lakes and picturesque villages. At Heudreville-sur-Eure, take the D155E to the old railway station and turn left onto the dirt track through the woods for 1 km; this becomes a greenway to Acquigny. In Pinterville, take the Seine-Eure greenway for 30 km, which runs alongside the river. Cross Val-de-Reuil through the town centre and continue towards the Léry-Poses leisure park.
