Les Andelys, Paris climbers' chalk getaway
With its magnificent cliffs along the Seine and its rich history, the Andelys climbing site is a must-visit for climbers in the Paris region. The multitude of routes of all levels makes it an ideal place for both beginner and advanced climbers. OneTopo in partnership with the Eure territorial committee offers you a complete digital guidebook to discover this site
Each crag has its own character: Connelles and its well-bolted routes facing the Seine, Val Saint-Martin and Le Thuit for a change of scene, from beginner walls to more sustained lines, and a handful of small crags such as La Microfalaise, Le Dé or Le Der for days when you want some peace and quiet. All along the valley the chalk is studded with flint: the nodules often make the holds, and footwork comes down to millimetres on their smooth surface. Here you climb with your eyes as much as your arms.
No need to buy the whole valley: each crag unlocks separately in the app, or all at once with the Les Andelys bundle. Either way, most of the price goes to the committee that bolts and maintains the routes.
