Roule Galette, discovering the Thermes Cycle Route and the Mont-Saint-Michel Pilgrims’ Way

January 14, 2026

Did you know that the Thermes Cycle Route largely follows a section of the Mont-Saint-Michel Ways between Amiens and Rouen?

From Epiphany to Candlemas, why not turn this cycling route into a gourmet journey, combining fitness, pleasure, and culture?

Starting in Forges-les-Eaux (Serqueux train station), we invite you to stop at the Northmaen Farm Brewery in Saint-Denis-le-Thiboult for a visit and a tasting. Continue through Bois-Héroult, passing its magnificent estate, open to visitors during the summer months. Enjoy a gastronomic stop at La Ferme de la Quesne, where you can stock up on local cheeses for a 100% Normandy raclette or fondue. Then discover the Jardins des Sculptures in Bois-Guilbert (Maison des Illustres), with the option to stay overnight or take part in a sculpture workshop with artist Jean-Marc de Pas.

In Rebets, you can stay in a traditional gypsy caravan at Le Moulin de Rebets Farm, which also has a farm shop and vending machine offering local produce. In Héronchelles, at Le Colombier d’Yville, you can spend the night in a charming dovecote. Boissay offers a warm and welcoming gîte at Le Cellier. In Catenay, another farm-produce vending machine at La Ferme des Châtaigniers and a large gîte on the edge of this remarkable farm welcome visitors.
Next comes Blainville-Crevon, home to the Saint-Michel Collegiate Church, a medieval castle, and a museum of naïve art. At La Bonne Pomme in Morgny-la-Pommeraie, you can enjoy lunch and taste excellent local products. Guest rooms and a tiny house are also available at Le Verger de la Pommeraie.

The highlight of this itinerary is a well-deserved stop in Quincampoix to taste the Galette des Rois from Maison Vatelier. You can also stay at La Ferme de la Houssaye or La Ferme d’Antan, offering authentic Normandy charm just outside the city, or choose a wellness-focused stay at Le Cottage des Hauts Poiriers. Le Rest’Authentique, a highly sought-after restaurant, welcomes guests with elegance. The" Au Gout du Vrai" shop propose several delightful products. You are now just a few kilometres from Rouen, the city of a hundred spires.

On foot, the route passes through the village of Ry, famous for its church and its influence on the writing of Madame Bovary. On the surrounding hills, you can stop at La Ferm’entente to stock up on cider and local beers.

Many routes across our region offer the chance to combine leisurely walks, hiking, cultural discoveries, and gourmet delights. As Candlemas approaches, be sure to stop in Buchy at La Crêperie des Anciennes Halles, or in Clères at Les P’tites Pommes, to continue your journey in true festive style.
