Eu, Administrative division in Seine-Maritime, France.
Description
Eu is a small town at the mouth of the Bresle River, where the Normandy and Hauts-de-France regions meet. The area is shaped by forests, and its closeness to the coast makes it a transition point between inland and seaside landscapes.
History
The Château d'Eu was built in the 16th century as a royal residence and later changed hands under Louis-Philippe I during the 19th century. This shift marked a turning point in the place's importance to French history.
Culture
The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame and Saint-Laurent displays a mix of Gothic and Renaissance elements that visitors can observe while walking through. These layers of different building styles reflect how the community developed over centuries.
Practical
The town center has direct train connections to Paris, Rouen, and Le Tréport, which makes arrival from major French cities easy. Visitors should check ahead to see which train lines match their planned route.
Did you know?
The Chapel of the Jesuits houses extensive collections of religious art within a 17th-century stone building. These collections showcase different forms of art that have been preserved across generations.
