Saint-Aubin-Sur-Scie can be explored through different travel themes: cultural history, the landscapes of the Pays de Caux and aviation all feature side by side. Château de Miromesnil is partly located in the commune; the GR 210 connects Saint-Aubin-Sur-Scie with Clères. Introductory microlight flights are also offered at Saint-Aubin-Sur-Scie airfield, while the Aéroclub de Dieppe/Commandant Fayolle offers various introductory and training options. For planning, it helps to choose your main focus first: visiting historic sites, hiking or a flying experience.
Château de Miromesnil and its gardens
Guided tours of the chapel, château and gardens are offered at the Château de Miromesnil estate. The gardens are also open to visitors without a guided tour. Since access arrangements may change, it is advisable to check the latest visitor information before setting out.
The château is partly located in the commune of Saint-Aubin-Sur-Scie. By decree dated 6 February 1945, the château was listed as a historic monument. The estate is also located within a site protected by a decree dated 19 October 1942. The two dates refer to different forms of protection and provide a clear historical context for a visit.
Chapel and ecclesiastical history
In the hamlet of Les Vertus stands the Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Vertus, a brick chapel dating from the 17th century. It was built by David Valle, a citizen of Dieppe. The chapel also contains decorative work by Quandalle, a painter from Dieppe.
Since 1659, a pilgrimage by parishioners from Offranville has taken place here every year on 1 May. Another historical connection leads to the Église Saint-Aubin: its patronage was transferred to the Abbey of Fécamp in 1030. The local history thus brings together an ecclesiastical claim transferred at an early date and a chapel documented since the 17th century, with a recurring pilgrimage.
The GR 210 through the Pays de Caux
The GR 210 connects Saint-Aubin-Sur-Scie with Clères and passes through typical landscapes of the Pays de Caux: green valleys, quiet forests and charming villages. Unlike a visit to individual buildings, this route puts the journey through the landscape at the centre. The link between two named places and the changing scenery make the GR 210 a distinct option alongside cultural visits. Trail conditions can change; checking the latest conditions before setting out can help with planning.
Introductory flights and flight training
The Aéroclub de Dieppe/Commandant Fayolle offers introductory flights lasting 15 or 25 minutes. The two stated flight durations allow you to choose based on how much time you want to spend in the air. Introductory flights and courses for learning to fly are also available. The club also offers private pilot training, with a pilot certificate (Brevet) from age 15 and a pilot licence from age 17. Training requirements, booking details and schedules should be checked again before booking.
Les Ailes d'Albâtre offers introductory flights in gyroplanes, autogyros and three-axis microlight aircraft at Saint-Aubin-Sur-Scie airfield. During microlight flights, participants are accompanied by a qualified and experienced flight instructor. The offer is open to both beginners and experienced microlight enthusiasts; flight options and participation requirements may change.
The two flight offers differ in their focus: the Aéroclub lists specific introductory flight durations as well as introductory and training options. For Les Ailes d'Albâtre, the types of microlight aircraft and the accompaniment by a flight instructor are the distinctive features. This makes it possible to decide first whether a particular flight duration, an introduction to flying or an introductory microlight flight best suits your interests. Check the latest offers and terms before booking.
