Anquetil Mill

Highlight • Monument

Rapeseed oil mill, then flour mill, it was sold as national property in 1793 to Martin Guesnel, farmer of the mills of the abbey of Fécamp.

Transformed in 1809 into a wheat mill, it became an oil mill again in 1856. It operated until it was destroyed during the fighting in June 1940.
The reach, the bases of the walls, and a metal waterwheel are the only preserved witnesses.

The Veules River and the Watermills of Veules-les-Roses

Highlight • River

Classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, Veules-les-Roses conceals many nuggets. Chalk cliffs, the smallest river in France, the Veules, mythical oysters and Victor Hugo's favorite places. A stopover in what was one of the most popular seaside resorts of the 19th century.

Veules-les-Roses, View from the southern cliff

Highlight • Settlement

The église Saint-Martin (16-17th century), shows a 13th century lantern tower. The nave and aisles have wooden roof trusses. Some spiral columns surprise with their sculptures (16E): the scallop shells refer to pilgrimages and the boat and fish to fishing.

Costes and Bellonte Monument and the 51st Highland Division Monument

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dieudonné Costes and Maurice Bellonte were two aviators who succeeded in making the Paris - New York route, non-stop, in 1930. A real operation which required the construction of a new aircraft with a wingspan of 18.30 meters and a length of 10.72 meters. These airmen faced a major obstacle: the unfavorable winds when making this route east-west. This unusual monument pays homage to them.

A short walk away is the monument to the 51st Highland Division. A kind of menhir which commemorates the Scottish soldiers who died in a battle in 1940.
