A little-known gem in the heart of the Brayon countryside, this chapel, dedicated to Notre-Dame, is an elegant Romanesque construction in limestone rubble covered with small flat tiles. It is said to have been built by monks from England, after the conquest of William the Conqueror. The building is distinguished by its octagonal bell tower with four superimposed canopies (raised by a metal lantern) which surmounts the crossing of the transept, but especially by its horizontal ceiling composed of eight transverse beams connected by exposed joists. The discovery of surprising paintings dating from the 13th century allowed the monument to be registered as a Historic Monument. The quantity and quality of these paintings today classify it among the jewels of Upper Normandy heritage.

This natural area located in Forges-les-Eaux is organized around the ponds of the Andelle, formed by two rivers: the Andelle to the east and the Chevrette to the west. All around extends the Bois de l’Épinay, remarkable for the great diversity of tree species it shelters. You can walk there, observe the birds, picnic and take a quiet break enjoying the rustling of the many leaves.

Its floor is made of old Forges paving stones, its superb octagonal baptistery is made of stone and there are 8 men's heads at the corners and 8 different decorative motifs. Its sculpted and pivoting wooden lectern represents the eagle and the snake. Four funeral stones relating to the lords of the parish are fixed inside. Tourist Office of the 4 Rivières en Bray

This majestic facade located near the Casino comes from the town of Gisors. Originally, it was the facade of the chapel of the Carmelite convent built in the 17th century at the initiative of François Sublet. After the French Revolution, this building was transformed into a municipal theater before being bombed during the Second World War. Jacques Hébertot, owner of the Forges Casino in the 1950s, bought the last remaining intact vestige from the town of Gisors and erected it in the town of Forges-les-Eaux with the aim of recreating a certain historical setting.

This area is located just at the entrance to the Andelle ponds, opposite the casino. A few tables are available, at the foot of the lake, for a nice picnic. Be careful, places will be expensive on a nice day!

A path has been laid out to reach the sources of the Chevrette: footbridges and pontoons, winding paths, the undulating presence of the Chevrette which plays with the path by shimmering its strange ocher color... We let ourselves be invaded by this beautiful atmosphere in the undergrowth to the source itself.

This part of the city was developed from the 16th century with the discovery of ferruginous springs in the current Casino park. It was in 1573 that Nicolas de Moy, Grand Master of Water and Forestry, discovered the presence of ferruginous springs. They were made famous from 1633 with the arrival of King Louis XIII, Queen Anne of Austria and Cardinal Richelieu. The spa was thus born! The springs named Reinette, Royale and Cardinal were thus exploited for their property and their medicinal virtues until the 1980s. @OT Forges les Eaux
