Eure

The Eure department spans across valleys and plateaus, with numerous rivers including the Seine flowing through its natural woodlands and agricultural plains.

Created in 1790 during the French Revolution, Eure emerged from the former province of Normandy as one of the original 83 departments of France.

The department contains numerous medieval churches, traditional Norman architecture, and historical monuments distributed among its various communes and rural settlements.

Located within easy reach of Paris, Eure offers direct train connections to major cities while maintaining extensive networks of cycling paths and walking trails.

The department encompasses both Monet's gardens at Giverny and Richard the Lionheart's Chateau Gaillard, representing significant French artistic and medieval heritage.
