Tips from the Community
A very pleasant route, from the saw passing in front of the Linerie, and from the PN19 of the Rouen Dieppe line. Arriving at 3/4 of the climb on the right are the tree houses of La Chaussée.

This Saint-Crespin church is tiny for a tiny village. The town hall is tiny too. They are located right next door, like a vestige of blessed times gone by.

Saint-Valery was built by the chamberlain of the kings of France Charles VIII and Louis XII, Jacques de Moy. The work was continued at the end of the 15th century by the lord of Estouville. Before its reconstruction following the disaster of the Hundred Years' War (1328-1456) it was dedicated to Saint Ripert. From 1694, the parish belonged to the Count of Ausmonville and was located two leagues from Dieppe, or in the weight and measure used in Normandy about five kilometers from the city of Dieppe. The ordinance of May 31, 1733 of King Louis XV ordered that the parishes of the admiralty of Barfleur on which Saint-Valery then depended as an exception be exempt from timber cutting tax. It should be noted, however, that at the time, Anneville-en-Scere was spelled and not Annville-sur-Scie. The 19th century was the century of vacations and literary tourism. Maupassant was born in the nearby village of La Tourvile sur Arc. Many sources relating to parish life in the 19th century in Anneville-sur-Scie are provided by the journal Les Études normandes which devoted an issue to the ecclesiastical history of the diocese of Rouen in 1955.

The Notre-Dame church was built from 1170 and the building retains an inscription dated April 26, 1170. The bell tower dates from the 12th century and the choir dates from the 13th century. The church was restored at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The building is listed as a historical monument by decree of July 19, 1926. Structural disorders made work necessary in the 2010s, approved by the municipal council of the commune in 2018 and a local heritage preservation association founded in May of the same year.
