View of the Bois de Launay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here, a beautiful viewpoint, between meadows, cliffs, sea and sky. In spring, daffodils bring their pretty touch of color, charming!

This little detour deserves your attention. Bois des Communes is located at the top of a cliff facing the English Channel. The particularity of this site is to shelter, over a few hectares, peaty woodland, ponds and moorland similar to those that can be found in Brittany. These environments attract dragonflies and remarkable amphibians (frogs, newts and salamanders). By definition, very humid in winter!

Moutiers Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Gorge des Moutiers offers a landscape where sea and rock come together. Accessible by the GR 21 route at low tide, this valley leads you to a beautiful beach. You can then enjoy a magnificent view of the Saint-Valéry church, at the top of the white cliff.

The location of the church is special: high on the cliff offers a dizzying view of the sea and the chalk cliffs.
The church (12th century), with a 16th century portal, consists of two naves located next to each other. The choir of the large nave is decorated with an abstract stained glass window by Ubac and three oil paintings by Michel Ciry. In the southern nave, the stained glass window by Georges Braque depicts Jesse's tree.
next to the church and opposite the sea is the small, very poetic sailor's cemetery. The grave of Georges Braque (1882-1963) is located to the left of the entrance. This great Fauvist from Arguentueil, who, with his comrade Picasso, was at the root of the Cubist shock, had a studio in Varengeville. Not far from him is the musician and composer Albert Roussel (1869-1937) buried.
