Clères is a French commune with 1,380 inhabitants in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region. It belongs to the arrondissement of Rouen and the canton of Bois-Guillaume.

A small bridge provides access to the Source campsite, and the "La Scie" River also passes through it. It is located very close to the Véloroute du Lin (about 50 meters away) in "Le Plessis" (municipality of Hautot-sur-Mer). You can also use it to reach the Canadian Cemetery, which is 1.5 kilometers from the bridge. Several picnic tables are located around the bridge.

very pretty little village

Taking tours of the park with a naturalist’s commentary is fantastic!

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.

Church with an elongated plan. A single nave. Bell tower crowned with a polygonal spire. On an older structure, the church was rebuilt in the 18th century.

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 first stone of the Saint-Rémy church was laid by Thomas Bouchard, alderman and treasurer of the city, in 1522. However, its construction lasted more than 100 years and was completed in 1643. The work was interrupted for several decades because of the conflicts of the Wars of Religion opposing Catholicism and Protestantism. The Saint-Rémy church illustrates the establishment of the Counter-Reformation movement in Dieppe. Indeed, faced with the influence of Protestantism which aimed for a sobriety of worship, the Catholic power aimed to attract and control the faithful. In the 17th century, a baroque altarpiece was built which helped to establish a sensitive relationship with the sacred, visible in the chapel of the Virgin. In the 18th century, the Parisot organ exalts the prayers of the parishioners. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1910, the Saint-Rémy church underwent a series of restorations from the 19th century. Since 1990, several restoration campaigns have been undertaken. In 2022, the black ambulatory was inaugurated after more than a year of work. The interior and exterior have been reconstructed, including gargoyles sculpted by Morgan Roulland.
