Veules-les-Roses, View from the southern cliff

The église Saint-Martin (16-17th century), shows a 13th century lantern tower. The nave and aisles have wooden roof trusses. Some spiral columns surprise with their sculptures (16E): the scallop shells refer to pilgrimages and the boat and fish to fishing.

Thanks to Anaïs Aubert, an actress of the comédie-Française, this pretty seaside resort came into vogue at the beginning of the 19th century. It is hidden in the valley of the Veules, France's smallest river (1194m). Despite the heavy toll that the town paid during the war, much interesting heritage has been preserved. A wide variety of villas and houses, often made of brick and flint. Some spots are very attractive, especially near the watering hole and at the foal springs, where watercress beds have been laid out.

Veules-les-Roses is one of the most beautiful villages in Normandy, even France. It is crossed by the smallest river in France “La Veules”. Throughout its 1194 meters you can discover a watercress and several water mills. The center of the city with its small streets of old houses is dominated by the St Martin church
