An ancient oak tree, now fallen. A gust of wind on the night of February 26, 2008, brought down this ancient oak tree (250 to 300 years old). Le Quesne à Leu remains, like a recumbent statue, a witness to the forest's history. It was at its feet that the last wolves in the forest were supposedly killed and that judgments with executions were rendered.

Ancient Druidic site. Legend says that the rock begins to smoke before the rain...

Seine-Maritime has a rich 19th century industrial heritage in various forms. This is the case of the Touffreville-sur-Eu railway viaduct, which has just been awarded the "Rural Heritage of Seine-Maritime" label. The viaduct is part of the "Chemin Vert du Petit Caux" hiking trail. It all began in 1872 with the opening of the 40 km Dieppe-Eu railway line, on which the Touffreville-sur-Eu viaduct was built to cross the Yères valley. Inaugurated in 1885, the brick viaduct has nine arches and is operated by the Compagnie de l'Ouest, in particular for the transport of pebbles exported for industrial purposes. A coastal railway line then operates from Tréport to Le Havre to serve the beaches where seaside life is booming with casinos, villas and sumptuous hotels with architecture typical of the Normandy coast. From 1938, the line is closed to passenger traffic and reserved exclusively for freight transport. The Second World War led to the disappearance of most of the buildings on the coast and seaside activities were interrupted. Freight traffic then resumed until 1972, when it was stopped with the oil crisis. The SNCF then bought the 17 km line between Saint-Quentin-au-Bosc and Eu in 1986 to transform it into a hiking trail and that was the birth of the Chemin Vert du Petit Caux!

Even if only foundation walls can be seen, they are at least impressive in their size. In any case, the city seems to have been not insignificant in Roman Gaul. You can find more information on the page. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briga

Briga was a Gallo-Roman town which prefigured the city of Eu. The site corresponds to a secondary city of the Early Roman Empire whose surface area is currently estimated at more than 65 ha. The remains of the ancient city, hidden under the forest for more than a millennium, were only rediscovered at the end of the 18th century, when it was decided to extend the road from Eu into the forest. Even today, excavations are organized every year in summer. But the origins of the site seem to date back before the Roman occupation. In the current state of knowledge, it is the sanctuary which seems to be the oldest point of occupation, and to derive its existence from a place of Celtic worship which dates back to the 3rd century BC. AD Impossible to miss it, the small road passes right in the middle of the site...

Super Vince, happy to have found this track, and to share it, so that we can ride on some great spots !!. Thank you for your tracks that I will detail well so I can ride in your turn!

Thank you for this suggestion Michel, we followed this green route and I admit that the view of this Touffreville viaduct is really beautiful! A 360-degree aerial panorama over the hilly nature 👍

Hello lovers of the paths. I'm still a little nostalgic to ride on these old railroad tracks, humans have sweated to build it, and here it took sacred workers to build the viaducts and bridges that we use. So not only is it beautiful, calm, but steeped in history. Mandatory passage to connect Dieppe to Tréport. Nice discovery to all
