ファトゥヴィル-グレインのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Hello, this is to inform you that the boat has been destroyed.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a "MONUMENT AUX MORTS" (usually called a "Central Memorial" or "War Memorial" in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "Fallen Memorial" is now sometimes used instead of the "War Memorial" that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a memorial has two important and at the same time everlasting tasks: -1- to keep the memory of the suffering and horror of war alive, -2- and to remind people of the need to maintain peace in the long term.

Here, we see the two bridges: Tancarville and Normandie. A fishing boat marks the marker. Great cool walk.

This former abbey was founded by Herluin de Conteville and his wife Arlette, mother of William the Conqueror, in 1050. Despite the weather, you can still see the remains of the church, the surrounding wall and the abbey dwelling.

This small fishing boat is located on the banks of the Seine, halfway between the Tancarville bridge and the Normandy bridge. It can be seen in the distance.

The Lighthouse Fatouville (closed) was built in the town of Fatouville-Grestain, Eure. He led the boats on the Seine estuary. The lighthouse has since been classified as a historic monument
