Current natural border between Île-de-France and Normandy, Epte is also a historical border. Indeed, in the Middle Ages, it was the boundary between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Normandy. This is why it had a large number of fortifications.
Here, precisely in Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, the treaty was signed in 911 between Charles III the Simple and Rollo, Viking leader, aimed at establishing the Normans in Neustria in order to protect the kingdom of Charles III from their incursions by sea This treaty gave birth to the Duchy of Normandy.
