At Petit Tendos, you will cross (via a bridge!) the Cailly. On the side, however, you access the river. Your potential 4-legged companion will be delighted! The Cailly is a tributary of the Seine into which it flows at Rouen. A river with a regular flow, the Cailly crosses two completely distinct zones; in the upstream part, a lightly urbanized area dominated by agricultural activities, in the downstream part, between Malaunay and its mouth, a totally urbanized area, a real street of urban areas with an industrial vocation.

The structural work of the church, namely the nave and the bell tower, date from the first half of the 16th century. The choir was rebuilt in the 19th century, first from 1844 to 1846, then following the re-construction of the sacristy in 1866. The church was damaged in 1944 following a bombing.
