Magnificent view of the Château d'Acquigny (whose garden can be visited) and the Eure valley

Be careful in winter you can be slippery because of dead leaves but great place

Former Seigneury dating from the 15th century, rebuilt in 1725, the Château d’Emalleville is a small typical Norman castle built in salmon brick and period stone. It was completely restored from 1991 and has been listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments (ISMH) since 1996.

Located on the border of the communes of Heudreville-sur-Eure and Acquigny, “Le Clos Saint-Mauxe”, a small clearing, is a symbolic place of the Christian faith. In the first centuries of our era, Saint-Mauxe, bishop of Italy, persecuted for his faith in God, took refuge in Gaul, accompanied by his brother Vénérand, deacon, and two priests Marc and Etherius. Pursued by the proconsul Sabinus from whom they had escaped in Italy, they were joined by their enemies in this clearing. Sabinus had the heads of Saint Mauxus and Saint Vénérand cut off... as well as eight of his own soldiers who had just been converted by the words and miracles of the holy bishop. This site became a place of fervor and devotion where processions were regularly organized, particularly during difficult times, for example during the plague of 1517 or the droughts of 1556 and 1785. According to historical records, miracles were even cited and an altar with a stone column was erected

This work located in the town of Acquigny allowed the old Dreux-Rouen railway to cross the Eure.

Le Clos du Manoir is the ideal place to spend the night during a hiking weekend in the Eure countryside. At the sight of the building, you will not be surprised to learn that it is a classified historic site.

This castle is ideally placed at the confluence of the Eure and the Iton rivers. This stream was diverted from its bed to feed the moats of this beautiful building. It can be admired from the park gate.
