Île aux Bœufs, Ecological protected area in Notre-Dame-de-l'Isle, France
The Île aux Bœufs extends over 0.65 square kilometers along the Seine River, reaching a maximum elevation of 5 meters above water level.
In 1197, Richard the Lionheart constructed a fortress on this island to protect Normandy against French King Philip II Augustus's advances.
The island's name transformation from 'Presssegniis insula' in 1240 to Île aux Bœufs reflects the evolution of local language and agricultural practices.
The central pond on the island serves both as a water source for livestock and as a natural habitat for amphibian species.
The island connects partially to Saint-Pierre-la-Garenne through a narrow strip of land, creating a distinct geographical formation in the Seine.
