Seine-Maritime has a rich 19th century industrial heritage in various forms. This is the case of the Touffreville-sur-Eu railway viaduct, which has just been awarded the "Rural Heritage of Seine-Maritime" label. The viaduct is part of the "Chemin Vert du Petit Caux" hiking trail. It all began in 1872 with the opening of the 40 km Dieppe-Eu railway line, on which the Touffreville-sur-Eu viaduct was built to cross the Yères valley. Inaugurated in 1885, the brick viaduct has nine arches and is operated by the Compagnie de l'Ouest, in particular for the transport of pebbles exported for industrial purposes. A coastal railway line then operates from Tréport to Le Havre to serve the beaches where seaside life is booming with casinos, villas and sumptuous hotels with architecture typical of the Normandy coast. From 1938, the line is closed to passenger traffic and reserved exclusively for freight transport. The Second World War led to the disappearance of most of the buildings on the coast and seaside activities were interrupted. Freight traffic then resumed until 1972, when it was stopped with the oil crisis. The SNCF then bought the 17 km line between Saint-Quentin-au-Bosc and Eu in 1986 to transform it into a hiking trail and that was the birth of the Chemin Vert du Petit Caux!

The Manoir de Briançon in Criel-sur-Mer is a 16th century manor house that belonged to Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, cousin of Louis XIV, who made it a hospice and an orphanage for the children of sailors1. You can admire the architecture of the mansion, now the town hall, and see the sculpture of a little girl named Lilou, who symbolizes the orphans who were housed there. You can also explore the underground which connected the manor to the castle of Eu, or even take advantage of the art exhibitions which are held at the manor during the summer. The Manoir de Briançon is a place where history and culture meet, and where you can learn more about the life and generosity of the Grande Mademoiselle.
