Until relatively recently, no bridges crossed the Seine any lower than Rouen, which made the river an all but impassable barrier for motorists heading between Upper and Lower Normandy. Now though an enormous bridge spans its mouth - the Pont de Normandie , which opened in 1995 - enabling motorists to zip across from Le Havre to Honfleur for a hefty toll of 33F/?5.03, and further inland, the immense Tancarville suspension bridge and the magnificent Pont de Brotonne , just upstream from Caudebec, whose yellow stays refract into strange optical effects as you cross, offer alternative routes across the river. If Rouen is your destination from Le Havre, however, it makes much more sense to stick to the north bank of the river. A succession of quiet roads follow the Seine's every loop, leading through sleepy towns such as Caudebec-en-Caux and past intriguing ruins like the abbey of Jumieges .
