Circuit de l'Europe

In Sotteville-sous-le-Val, in the Seine-Maritime, Circuit de l'Europe sets up its outdoor track right next to Rouen, in the Seine valley. The site sits in a semi-rural setting typical of the Norman Roumois, easily accessible from Rouen and the A13 between Paris and Caen. It's one of the reference karting addresses in the Rouen basin, favoured by Rouen residents heading out with friends as well as by Norman business basin companies.

The open-air layout offers a rhythmic course suited to different practice levels, in the open setting typical of the Seine valley. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver profile, from entry-level models for kids to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. Conditions shift with Norman oceanic weather : faster and drier in summer, more demanding on rainy days. The site happily welcomes family initiation runs, birthday parties, stag and hen parties, seminars, and corporate evenings from the Rouen basin.

Sotteville-sous-le-Val is 20 minutes from Rouen, an hour from Le Havre, and 1h15 from Caen. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: Rouen and its Notre-Dame cathedral (painted thirty times by Monet), Gros-Horloge, Place du Vieux-Marché (where Joan of Arc was burned), the Jumièges abbey 30 minutes away, Seine meanders, or a detour to Honfleur and the Côte Fleurie or Étretat and the Alabaster Coast. A coherent outdoor karting option for Rouen residents and A13 travellers looking for an open-air format 20 minutes from the Rouen city centre.
