Mirville Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The Mirville Viaduct is an impressive brick viaduct built in 1846 by the English engineer Joseph Locke to pass the Paris-Le Havre railway line over the Ru de Bolbec valley. It is made up of 48 arches and has a length of 530 meters and a height of 32 meters. You can admire its elegant curves and its red color which contrasts with the green landscape. The viaduct was partially destroyed during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and World War II, but it was quickly restored and is still in use today. You can access the viaduct from the village of Mirville, where you can also visit the 12th century Saint-Martin church and the 16th century Mirville castle.

the castle:
A place for Belle Epoque celebrations
The Clos des Fées bears witness to an abundant period, before the war of 1914, the Belle Epoque. Writers, painters, musicians met in Etretat. They also liked to frequent the inn of "la Belle Ernestine" in Saint-Jouin-Bruneval. She met the painter Albert Besnard, it was their son who had the castle of the clos des fées built in 1902.
In 2013, a collective demanded that this endangered castle be saved. Today he has been granted.
"This castle, pearl of the Alabaster Coast, was built at the very beginning of the 20th century by Louis Besnard, architect and mayor of Saint-Jouin-Bruneval. He is the son of the "beautiful Ernestine" (famous for its proximity to Courbet, Corot, the Dumas, Offenbach, Maupassant...) and Albert Besnard, Parisian painter and decorator of the Science Room of the Paris City Hall, the vestibule of the Paris School of Pharmacy, the chemistry amphitheater of the Sorbonne, the ceiling of the Comédie-Française, the dome of the Petit Palais."...
The tragedian Sarah Bernardt was one of the guests at the St Jouin Bruneval estate. Legend has it that she appeared in a tray on a bed of rose petals. Typically Belle Epoque!
The actress came as a neighbor. Le Havre was his starting point for his theatrical tours in America. Sarah Bernhardt had acquired in Sainte-Adresse

Cap d'Antifer Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

In addition to the Cap de la Hève, the chalk cliffs of the Cap d’Antifer serve as a secondary landmark for reaching Le Havre. After the Cap de la Hève had had a lighthouse since the 1790s, the Commission des Phares decided in 1890 to build a lighthouse on the Cap d'Antifer. The first tower had a total height of 32.50 m and was equipped with optics with a focal length of 1.33 m, which was large for the time. The optics came from the French company Barbier et Cie, were previously an exhibit at the World Exhibition in 1889 and were the only optics of such a large focal length ever installed in France.
Originally operated with mineral oil and wick burners, the light source was changed to strong light lamps and petroleum in 1905. In 1926 the lighthouse was electrified using diesel generators. The range was 31 miles.
The original lighthouse was completely destroyed by German troops in September 1944.
First temporarily replaced by a mast, the current lighthouse was built in the 1950s and put into operation in 1955
