Tafeln in französischer, englischer und deutscher Sprache erläutern den Ort, der in einem Rundgang erschlossen werden kann.

a piece of history

The chapel of the blessed is located on the heights of Saint-Saëns. Believers or not come there for their children. The building would have the power to make babies walk! At the foot of the statue of Saint-Saëns, we sometimes find baby shoes, proof of the passage of parents worried about their children.

The original construction of the building dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, partly destroyed by lightning on June 10, 1883. In 1896 it was decided to demolish and completely rebuild the church. In front of the church, you can admire the Dillard Fountain. This dates from 1901. Although he died about fifteen years before its construction, Mr. Dillard was keen to supply the city with drinking water and it was with this objective that he made a legacy in his will, a legacy which was contested by the family and whose lawsuit against the town of Saint-Saëns failed. The Dillard Fountain remained operational until 1960 when the city was connected to drinking water.

The name Rue des Tanneurs is linked to the activity of the tanneries which made up the good years of Saint-Saëns. They have been a real engine of economic development in the city. To the point of causing the creation of a station a few hundred meters from this street. The great master tanners of the 19th century were mainly based in what was then called “rue de l’Eau”.

At the edge of the Bois de Caule, this path alternates between magnificent open landscapes of the Normandy countryside and a plant world that cuts the hiker off from the world.

Currently in ruins, this ancient feudal castle which existed from the 11th to the 15th century was built by a companion of William the Conqueror, Gauthier Giffard. An interpretation panel allows you to find out more about the place.

Site not to be missed, plan something to attach your bikes in case because they are prohibited on the circuit. There is accessible parking for cars and dogs are accepted on a leash. Plan poop bags 😁😁.
