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!

In Saint-Martin-en-Campagne, the old foundations of the church date from the 13th century, but the building was rebuilt in the 16th century, like the south nave. Note the sandstone portal from 1517. The bell tower was rebuilt in 1902 after being struck by lightning, but it is still topped by a very high 18th century spire. An explanatory leaflet is available for visitors.

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.

A small town where it is good to stop. Some points of interest like the historic town hall, the Museum of the History of the Daily Life and the Park of Tolerance in between. A few steps from the sea and the cliffs of Petit-Caux.
