Caesar's Camp is an earthen mound that is over 2000 years old. The site dates back a few centuries before the Roman period. The more appropriate name for this historic site is “City of Limes”. It is in fact a “Gallic oppidum” or more certainly Gallo-Belgian which dates from well before Julius Caesar! This mound is a very long fortification which protected an area of more than 50 hectares. This earthen rampart is 3600 meters long. It still measures 9 to 12 meters high today depending on the location. The mound is framed by an exterior and interior ditch, which made it almost impassable. You are thus progressing on a historic path, an “antique route” which dates from Antiquity.

This coastal wood of approximately 60 hectares is classified as a Sensitive Natural Area by the Department of Seine-Maritime, which offers hikes there all summer. You will discover a diversity of forest species (beech, oak, maple, cherry, chestnut, etc.), a wealth of ferns characteristic of humid undergrowth. Thanks to its soft humus, we very frequently observe a remarkable multi-colored carpet. In spring, we find primroses, daffodils, bluebells and violets in the undergrowth. In the fall you can see a carpet of blueberries.

Pourville Beach offers a breathtaking view of the white cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre and the mouth of the Scie. You can run along the 700 meter long pebble beach. Pourville Beach is famous for having been painted by Claude Monet in 1882. You can admire the beauty of this landscape which inspired the Impressionist master.

As a consolation for the 80m high climb, you reach a parking lot in a hairpin bend that, in clear weather, offers the view that Claude Monet immortalized in his work "Chemin dans les blés à Pourville".
