Turretot combines short walks with hiking routes that pass through the village and a historic connection to the Church of Saint-Martin. The routes offer different points of reference for planning: one loop has a stated distance and approximate duration, while other walks give their length or possible starting point. The landscape descriptions can also help you choose. This allows you to coordinate your schedule with the focus you want for your trip.
Walks and Starting Points
P'tite Balade 1 – Grand Tour du Centre Bourg is 3.9 km long and takes about an hour. For this specific loop, the approximate duration provides a time reference in addition to the distance. Les P'tites Balades de Turretot are walks of 2 to 4 km offered by members of the CEME (Commission of commune residents working on environmental issues). This gives you a choice of different distances for walks in the village.
P'tite Balade 4 – Tour d'Ecuquetot can be started from the car park at Les Bruyères cemetery. If you are planning this route, the named car park provides a specific starting point. This information applies to this route; for other walks, their own routes are the relevant guide.
Hiking Routes and Landscapes
The GR21 crosses Turretot from east to west. Sections of the GR21 can also be hiked from Turretot. These are two useful aspects to consider when planning: the route describes the trail passing through the village, while the option to hike sections lets you focus on individual parts of the trail.
The L'Observatoire des Ă©toiles hike is 13 km long and passes through Turretot. It crosses a highly varied landscape of plains and wooded sunken lanes. Le Moulin de la LĂ©zarde also passes through Turretot; the route crosses varied landscapes between countryside and woodland. The stated distance of 13 km is useful for comparing shorter walks with a longer hike. If the scenery also matters, the descriptions of the two hikes differ considerably.
Le Moulin de la LĂ©zarde can also be included in your plans if you are looking for a hike through Turretot with varied landscapes between countryside and woodland. The length of this route is not included in the information given here; so do not base your decision solely on an assumed walking time, but take into account the landscapes described and the route through the village.
Church and Village History
The Church of Saint-Martin dates back to the 13th century. Originally, it was a simple chapel dedicated to Saint Anne and served people with leprosy. Another historical landmark is the Calvaire de Turretot: it was inaugurated on 25 July 1926 at the site where the former church, which disappeared during the Revolution, is thought to have stood.
The Circuit des Totems connects the totems in Turretot along a route of about 5 km. The route includes a stop at the Jardin PĂ©dagogique, right next to the Church of Saint-Martin. GPX and PDF files are available for navigation. The route can thus combine a stop at a garden next to the church with the totems in the village, without treating these destinations as the same place.
Events and Travel Dates
The Foire Ă l'artisanat takes place over the Easter weekend, while the Turretot Geek Convention is held in September. If you would like to plan your stay around one of these events, check the specific dates before booking. When looking for a holiday rental in Turretot, you can also decide in advance whether short walks, a section of the GR21 or a longer hike will be the focus of your trip.
