Le Val de l'Abbesse

Overlooking the river Seine, this path is steeped in legend…

Legend has it that the martyrdom of Saint-Honorine took place on the outskirts of this circuit, near the Lillebonne-Harfleur Roman road. Saint-Honorine, a young Christian woman who wanted to marry a Roman soldier, would have remained faithful to her faith. This would have been worth to her to be slaughtered, her body to be thrown in the Seine and brought back on land in Graville, place thereafter called Graville-Sainte-Honorine.
