One among many others

Once again a place where History is present surrounded by a magnificent forest where it is pleasant to walk by bike or on foot

Small bucolic spot for a short break, with a pretty water mill on the Yrès.

The church is modern but no less impressive in its design. Stain-glassed windows are huge and the town is a delight.

In the forest of Eu, at the post of Montauban located in Guerville, the V1 launch base is a place of memory of the bombing operations carried out by the German army during the Second World War. It is good to ask a few minutes to learn a little. Especially since explanatory panels offer essential landmarks to visitors who have free access to the places all year round. The catapults had to be impressive (400 km/h at the exit of the ramp!). And it is also difficult to imagine that these “flying” machines could have reached London and killed civilians.

Have fun finding one of the 28 cast iron posts, with an English look, scattered throughout the forest. They were installed from 1876 to 1902 on the initiative of the Duke of Aumale, the Count of Paris and the Count Gaston of Orléans, successive owners of the Eu forest. The poles of the Eu forest are also unique: generally made of wood in other forests, here they have the particularity of being made of cast iron and each weigh several tonnes. A royal forest, it bears within itself the marks of its history and the posts at road crossroads also recall the glorious hunts of kings Source: https://www.tourisme-aumale-blangy.fr/accueil/decouvert-notre-territoire/du-cote-loisirs/la-foret-deu/

The Guerville V1 launch base. At the Montauban post located in Guerville, the base is a place of memory of the bombing operations carried out by the German army during the Second World War. It is no coincidence that the Luftwaffe, the German air force, retained this area between the Bresle and Yères valleys for its bases. The deep forest of Eu, the railway line and the many forest roads offered all the favorable conditions for this project.
