Since the 4th century, the town of Veules-les-Roses, in Seine-Maritime area, has been located in the hollow of a valley, which ends on a cliff and leads to the sea. You will be definitely seduced by its charming seafront, its rich heritage and its forest, which is crossed by France’s smallest river: the Veules. Along the river Veules, you will find remains of its history carved in stone with a varied architecture: mills, resort-style villas, flowery cottages and a registered historic church. And, at the river’s mouth, there is a wide beach, which, at each low tide, offers an endless leisure area with an amazing landscape of cliffs under the light of Normandy skies.
All year round you will be able to enjoy beautiful walks along the river Veules (1194 meters), which used to drive the wheel of 11 mills. From the river sources, you will walk along the watercress beds, which hide many birds and you will pass the bridge to observe trouts. You will also discover the local oyster (huître veulaise), first oyster in Seine-Maritime region to be raised out at sea.
