Sentier des Seigneurs
Description
At the gates of Honfleur, this ride is to be done in a small sporty carriage and takes you to discover the surroundings of Quetteville, between the bocage landscapes of the Morelle Valley and the agricultural grassland plain.
On the way back, treat yourself and your horse to a break! Stop at the Saint Laurent church and a stone's throw from the trail, the fountain of the same name offers you its waters... A whole story at your fingertips... The waters of the St Laurent fountain are renowned for curing skin diseases.
As for the church, built in the 11th century in an effort to Christianize the Vikings who settled in the region, it is dedicated to Saint Lawrence. It has an altar with a statue of the Saint who was invoked to cure skin ailments. Custom dictated that pins be stuck into the statue at the spot corresponding to his pain.

This route can also be done on foot…
