Two settings dominate: the Seine meanders, and the beechwood. Vézillon and Vernon line the river where it winds between chalk cliffs: Les Andelys and Château-Gaillard, Richard the Lionheart's fortress, command one of those bends.

Lyons-la-Forêt opens onto one of the finest beech woods in Europe, more than a hundred square kilometres of cathedral-like stands, with a listed half-timbered village at its centre.

Giverny adds Monet's gardens and the slopes above them, where the views he painted over the valley are still exactly as he saw them.

When to go — Autumn is exceptional in the Lyons forest. Avoid Giverny at the height of summer — the crowds spoil it.
