Notre-Dame and Saint-Laurent

Highlight • Religious Site

This Gothic church (12th-13th century) is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Lawrence O'Toole, an Irish private who died in Eu in 1180. The apse was rebuilt in the 15th century and restored by Violet-le-Duc (19th century). On the outside, the chancel closure and the aisles attract attention, with their numerous buttresses with turrets and pinnacles.
The interior stands out for its size and balanced proportions. In the nave there is a beautiful organ of carved oak, decorated with statues (1614). The statue of Notre-Dame d'Eu in the apse chapel is attributed to one of the Anguier brothers. In the left cross chapel is a 16th century statue of the Virgin Mary and behind the choir is a reliquary with the remains of St. Lawrence.
In the second chapel of the ambulatory on the right (the Chapelle du Saint-Sépulcré) there is a 15th-century Entombment* under a flamboyant canopy. Against it you see a beautiful Christ of Sorrows (15th century). The crypt, just below the choir, is older than the church itself and has a pointed arch. Against the wall on the left you see the reclining statue (a giant) of St. Lawrence O'Tool (12th century). From the square behind the church you have a good view of the lower districts of the city and the Hôtel-Dieu. (Michelin)

Castle Park

Highlight • Castle

The castle offers a beautiful view of the 15 ha park, which is planted with beeches, including one from 1585, the Guisard*, which is protected as a 'special tree'. Visitors can enjoy the peace and quiet of the French-style gardens, the 19th-century rose garden, the rhododendrons, azaleas and conifers planted under Louis-Philippe and the Count of Paris. Also: old ice cellars, water features, terraces and tree-lined avenues.

Statue of Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orléans

Highlight • Monument

The equestrian statue of Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, is a work by the Italian sculptor Carlo Marochetti which pays tribute to the eldest son of King Louis-Philippe I and heir to the throne of France, who died in an accident in 1842. There are two copies of this statue:

One is located in Neuilly-sur-Seine, place du Duc-d’Orléans. It was inaugurated in 1981 after being repatriated from Algeria where it had been installed in 1845 on the Government Square in Algiers.
The other is located in the park of the Château d’Eu in Normandy, property of the Orléans family. It was created in 1844 thanks to a subscription opened after the death of the prince.
The statue represents the Duke of Orléans on horseback, saluting with his sword. It symbolizes his courage and popularity, particularly during the conquest of Algeria.

Eu Castle

Highlight • Castle

Eu residents lament that their town is really only known to crossword enthusiasts, who are familiar with the question of "a village in the valley of the Bresle with two letters." After all, Eu has a rich past, in which William the Conqueror married his cousin Mathilde of Flanders in 1050, and where more recently, at the end of the 19th century, King Louis-Philippe set up his summer residence here.

Viewpoint overlooking the cliffs of Le Tréport

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you can appreciate the cliffs south of Tréport. Be careful if you have vertigo, because the cliffs are really impressive! Chalk walls where a particular vegetation has adapted to the difficult conditions of the ground. If you ever need to orient yourself, a sign of arrows shows you the distance to major cities: Paris, London, Beauvais, etc.

Le Tréport

Highlight • Settlement

This fishing and port village developed into a seaside resort is now very busy in summer, which can be explained by its proximity to Paris and the lure of both the Côte d'Albâtre and the Côte d'Opale. It rivals in appeal its sister town on the other bank of the Bresle: Mers-les-Bains. This quiet place still has a number of remarkable villas in Belle Époque style. A very nice discovery.
