NOTES FOR DRIVERS

On leaving the Seine for Pont de l’Arche, there is a long, winding ascent.

After Pont de l’Arche comes a climb through the forest, and a switchback of small, sharp hills before reaching Louviers.

After crossing the Iton, the road is hilly until the valley of that river is dropped into again, about 6 kilometres from Evreux.
