very pretty little village

Taking tours of the park with a naturalist’s commentary is fantastic!

Building with a Latin cross plan. A nave intersected by a transept and finished with a polygonal chevet. Bell tower with a polygonal spire in slate integrated into the front façade. Construction in sandstone and bricks. Angular openings for the nave; broken bays for the transept and the choir. Long-span slate roof.

Short but punchy climb! Very pretty

The building consists of a nave, a choir and a sacristy, built longitudinally. Within the church, several works are presented. The first two are wooden bas-reliefs displayed in the choir and seem to have been made around 1650.

Every year (first Sunday of spring) the village of Clères welcomes spring with the traditional daffodil festival and its market. For decades, this festival has been a meeting point for the summer. We will therefore find different local producers and artisans presenting their products, but also awareness stands around nature and shows.

The market halls were built in the 18th century, and over time had various functions: museums, cinema hall, attic... Today, they have regained their former glory and host a weekly market on Sunday morning as well as an annual event every first Sunday of Spring: the Daffodil Festival.

Ouville l'Abbaye Castle was built in the 17th and 18th centuries by eminent parliamentarians and features Louis XIII style architecture with six pavilions and a remarkable central staircase. It is surrounded by a magnificent park and gardens. You can explore the castle and its surroundings on foot or by bike, and enjoy the view of the Plateau de Caux, a natural region of hills and valleys. The castle is open to the public all year round and entry is free.
